What I appreciate about Sonrojo Monster is the productivity of its plants. Its crimson-pink, heart-shaped tomatoes range from medium to large and can weigh up to 500 g. Their dense, aromatic flesh complements a balanced flavor in which neither sweetness nor acidity dominates.

Its compact plant, reaching about 90 cm, is particularly productive. As noted by Craig LeHoullier, the foliage is regular-leaf and rugose.

Sonrojo Monster was developed as part of the Dwarf Tomato Project, a collaborative dwarf tomato breeding project involving Craig LeHoullier.

Every variety has its own personality. The best tomato isn’t the one that everyone likes, but the one that finds its place in your garden, your kitchen, and your habits.
