Price for 12 seeds
This variety, Marglobe, being determinate, stops growing when fruit sets on the top bud. All the fruits ripen at about the same time (usually over period of 1- 2 weeks).

In America using fruit like this is ofter called canning even though they are stored in glass jars, a refenece to the industrial process of preserving tomatoes.
