The plants generally don't need to be supported and are ideal for trailing from containers. It's estimated that Donna should produce around 100 fruits around 3cm across; it has a beautifully fresh and sweet flavour.
Tarzen produces a slightly larger more sharper tasting fruit, having a diameter of around 5cm, and the bush grows taller to around 40cm. This is an ideal tomato for barbecues and can compete with meats as it has a more piquant taste.
