Matt&#8217;s Folly, as described in TaterMaterSeeds.com, is a rounded plum of red with gold stripes. This segregate I have named Matt&#8217;s Hornet because of the coloring paired with the bullet shape that has persisted through my growout.<br \/>\nMy very favorite thing about Matt&#8217;s Hornet is the taste. The taste is very similar to Matt&#8217;s Wild Cherry, but with meaty tomato flesh rather than the currant-type that is mostly gel and seeds. In the time I have grown this variety, it has never experienced late blight. It could just be luck, or it could be inheritance from Matt&#8217;s Wild Cherry.<br \/>\nThe plant is not rampant as Matt&#8217;s Wild Cherry is, but it is vigorous and probably indeterminate. If I could say three words additionally about Matt&#8217;s Hornet, they would be &#8220;productive.&#8221; I know that was only one word, but it produces so many fruits over such a long period that I may as well repeat &#8220;productive&#8221; three times. For virtues of flavor, disease tolerance and resistance, and productivity, I have placed Matt&#8217;s Hornet into my &#8220;WOW List.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1748,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[14,35,107,40,12],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1747","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-striped","product_cat-cherry-grape","product_cat-ellies-wow-varieties","product_cat-heat-set-tomatoes","product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds","first","outofstock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1747"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1747"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
