This is a fuzzy variant of the Snow White cherry tomato. Snow White is a delightful cherry tomato bred by Joe Bratka, loved for its creamy ivory fruits that ripen to a soft pale yellow and glow like little lanterns on the vine. Indeterminate, regular-leaf plants are rampant and highly productive, typically starting to ripen in about 70 to 80 days from transplant and rewarding a sturdy cage with long trusses all season. The round cherries, usually about 1 inch and often near 1 ounce, are sweet and full-flavored without turning sugary, with a pleasant acid-to-sweet balance that wins over even tomato skeptics. Snack them straight from the garden, toss them into salads for a bright color contrast, or use them as a charming garnish, and enjoy their tendency to resist cracking and hold well after picking.
