I'm growing the Sprite tomato, this year. I got my seeds from Mumsey of the Organic Gardening Community. She really likes it. It's supposed to be a lot like Juliet F1, except stable with smaller fruits and smaller plants. Here's my plant, this year. This picture was taken on 27 May 2020.

Since the plant isn't expected to be large, I put a red wire tomato cage on it, yesterday; also, it's next to a sidewalk. It's my only tomato with one of those, this year (the rest are on my wonderberries, since they're not strong enough for most tomatoes). The plant is looking promising, today.

Here's my plant on 23 June 2020. It set fruit by that date, too.

Re: Sprite tomato

I tasted some Sprite tomatoes some days ago. They are quite sweet. They're similar to Esterina F1 in flavor and sweetness (not quite as intense, but close), but they have that watermelon-like lycopene taste, in a very mild way, afterward.

The fruits are tiny! They fall off easily when ripe.
