What variety of tomato is that?

That's very funny!! I've got a few small like that but they certainly aren't ripe!

I got the plant from a neighbor, but if I recall it's called Currant Red tomato. They are usually the size of half a penny, this one was unusually small, going to try and grow plants from its tiny seeds.

No it's not a Cherry, it's an even smaller variety. The shocking thing is for it's variety, this tomato is smaller than usual. I cant imagine a tomato being any smaller lol.

Here it is next to the penny and a ruler. The tomato on the right is from the same vine, but is of Normal size. Made a video too will post it soon. Video-

That is one small tomato. Did you eat it?


It is probably caused by a genetic mutation if there are other tomatoes on the vine.
