We'll steer clear of the aphrodisiac debate, and simply say that this is a
tomato that earns your love in so many different ways! First, there are
the big, 6 to 10 oz. fruits that are semi-plum, semi-pear, and all heart!
Considerably larger than similar varieties, with juicier flesh and better
taste than their equally odd-shaped, older cousins. Fruits ripen
uniformly to a deep, glossy red, typically without green shoulders.
