Overview
Early Treat is a hybrid that lives up to its name, with the first red tomatoes ready in about 50 days. Fruit weighs around 4 ounces and comes in clusters on indeterminate plants that spread 3 to 4 feet, so give them a cage. Because the vines keep going after that early flush, it can serve as both a first-of-season and a season-long producer in a small garden.
