A very early tomato
Karos Tomato is an early-season, determinate potato-leaf variety of tomato of obscure or unknown heritage; its specific origin is not well documented. It produces clusters of 3 to 6 round, red-orange fruits weighing about 50-80 g each. The flesh is juicy and sweet, with a slightly thick skin that helps the fruit hold up well. This variety is well suited to cooler climates and short summer seasons. It is excellent eaten raw in salads or as fresh table slices. No picture available at this time.
