    This is marketed as an early tomato (58 days) but was about 2-3 weeks later than my other early varieties (most in the 60-65 day range). It is a large cherry, about 1.5 inches in diameter, firm and juicy. Both the skin and flesh are a pretty pale yellow. Seems to be moderately productive, lots of fruit set. The taste, however, is really really bland. Like biting into...nothing.

    Edited to add: A perfectly ripe Lemon Cherry does have a nice sweet taste and firm texture, but really really mild. It's a very pretty tomato and is a nice addition to a mixed plate. Two bite cherry, or really small slicer.
