We discovered this fun tomato growing in our Orange Accordion tomato patch. They remind us of mini pumpkins. These small, golden-orange colored, ruffled shaped fruits are perfect for slicing into salads or stuffing. The fruit’s unique outward appearance and bright flavor make this plant an asset to any home garden! Some variability may appear as we are releasing it as an unstabilized variety. Experiments are always an adventure!
