Default Dwarf cherry heart

A dwarf grape cherry heart I'm working on. Early generation but flavor is good and I love the shape.

It is a very nice shape but not what I would class as a grape tomato

Edit: but considering the parentage from Orange Santa I guess you are hoping to recover the grape shape at a later generation.

I like the look. Any chance of getting a seed or two to cross with the micro-multiflora?

I usually think of grape tomatoes as longer than wide, mini-plum is another designation for the same class.

Looks more along the lines of a heart cherry tomato. Looks awesome Chris.
