Distorted and weird, this ugly-but-beautiful heirloom looks like lots of red tomatoes fused together. Germans call it "the traveller", because it can be torn apart on a journey one piece at a time, as was the custom in central America where it originates. Flavour is much better than supermarket hybrids too, but it's harvest season is short lived. Harvest in 13 weeks from transplant, yields 1.1kg/plant.

Claire X. ★★★★★

My kids were fascinated by the way these lumpy red fruits seem to stack on top of each other, and the "tear apart" trick kept them entertained for hours. It's such a fun, weird plant to grow, and the flavor is surprisingly sweet and rich.

Eva ★★★★★

The whole “tear it apart piece by piece” thing actually works—I broke off a chunk on a hike and ate it right there, zero mess. The taste is classic tomato, sweet and a bit tangy, and the weird fused shape makes every slice look like a tiny abstract painting.

Elizabeth P. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the looks at first, but the way each piece pulls apart without a knife is surprisingly practical. Plant has been vigorous and productive in a large pot.
