Solanum lycopersicum

60 days. Determinate.  This was definitely the first tomato to ripen for us this year.  Small, determinate plants were loaded with 2" fruits.  This variety was bred in the north country, Fairbanks, Alaska, to set fruit when nighttime temperatures are still cool at around 40 degrees F.  I believe that's why we got tomatoes so quickly from this one, it can set fruit when night time temperatures are still low for us in June.
