Tomato 'Blondkopfchen'

'Blondkopfchen' is a 1/2-inch, yellow cherry tomato with a delicious flavor that is sweet and citrusy. The huge plants are very productive in mild weather, but when our temperatures went over 100 degrees in July, the blossoms fell off. However, the plants kept growing, and they produced abundantly when the temperatures came down.

'Blondkopfchen' is an heirloom tomato from Germany. A German-born friend tells me that the name means "little blonde head," referring to a child with blonde hair.
