Variety characteristics:

• 502 Chocolate Bunny bears generous clusters of smooth, plum-shaped cocktail tomatoes that ripen to a rich red-brown and chocolate-brown color. The fruits weigh up to approximately 2.1 oz and have firm, meaty flesh with a full, balanced tomato flavor. Vigorous indeterminate vines grow about 4 to 5 ft outdoors and may reach 6.5 ft or more in a greenhouse. Support the fruit-laden stems with sturdy stakes or a trellis. The small, attractive fruits are enjoyable fresh in salads and appetizers and are also well suited to whole-fruit roasting and preserving.
