Orange Currant Tomato

Orange Currant is an indeterminate heirloom currant tomato bearing miniature, quarter to half-inch fruits in a beautiful clementine color. The thick skin makes it crack-resistant, and the flavor is excellent: fruity and sweet. Quality holds for a long time on and off the plant, and the tall, extremely productive vines bear all season.
