Variety characteristics:

• 968 Red Date Tomato is a sweet red datterini-type tomato known for its rich flavor and inviting aroma. Fruits are small and elongated, resembling little dates, which inspired the variety name. The skin is slightly thicker than many tomatoes, and the fruits contain fewer seeds, giving them a meatier bite and more usable flesh. Like cherry tomatoes, Red Date has high sweetness, with especially rich sugar development when fully ripe. Plants set fruits in clusters, often carrying a dozen or more small plum-shaped tomatoes that ripen together on the truss. Excellent for fresh snacking, salads, roasting, lunchboxes, and sweet tomato mixes.
