Red Fig Cherry Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
The Red fig tomato is a heritage variety originating in Philadelphia, dating back to 1805. They were traditionally dried to preserve them all year round, and eaten as small figs during the winter, hence their name of small figs. They are sweet, pear-shaped and about 1 1/2 inches in size.
