Origin & history
A Swiss heirloom bearing smooth rose-pink globes with thin skin and a balanced, juicy flavor. Thin skin means it does not ship, which is exactly why market growers who sell direct love it.

Traits
Disease resistance
No documented disease resistance, typical of heirlooms and older open-pollinated varieties. See tomato diseases for the cultural playbook that fills the gap.
