Spontaneous mutation that appeared in 1997 in the garden of John Swenson in Illinois, USA, which he developed and fixed.
Fruit of 150 to 250 grams, elongated plum type ending with a point, more or less invaginated.
Red skin with yellow stripes that ripple along the body, all on a shiny skin, guaranteed effect.
Fleshy flesh of the "paste" type with 2 or 3 hollow chambers containing little gel and seeds. Mild flavor far superior to other tomatoes of this type.
Like all elongated tomatoes, it is sensitive to apical necrosis but also prone to cracking and sensitive to septoria.
