Early Ruby

Unique looking, flattened, dark red, indeterminate tomato that matures mid-season and is productive. Flavor is slightly acidic with little sweetness and a rather dry texture. Fruits are ribbed along the length of the fruit, have some cat-facing, measure 2 inches tall by 2.5-3.5 inches wide and weigh 3-5 ounces. In 2020 trials at HF fruits showed low splitting tendencies, concentric and radial cracking and had a BRIX of 5.8. Plants are 3.5-5 ft tall with moderately dense foliage and 3-5 fruits per cluster.
