Temporary borrowed description — indet., regular leaf, wispy foliage, medium size red fruits, shaped like fat plums or blunt hearts. Bright red meaty flesh with small seed cavities and very few seeds, typical for heart?shaped tomatoes. The flesh is juicy and not dry as in paste tomatoes. Outstanding sweet flavor. 6?12 oz. History: Seed originally came from Alice Biltz, whose family had been growing it for decades. Seed Source: John Seewald, New Jersey 07 / OH IN F (Frederick Ineman, Ohio) / Alice Biltz // Another one from Tania, AE is a wispy thing with an attractive plant habit that was very easy to stake and control. It's fruits were all over 12 oz. and the largest was 2 lb., 3.8 oz. The tops of its fruits have succumbed to radial cracking and the russeting that is very common in my garden now since we've been having regular showers and thunderstorms recently. This one didn't seem to like my conditions I guess because it was rather dry and mealy with a lot of white areas inside, which is not at all like the description. (Kath)
