From the French to English translation the literal meaning of "mille fleur" is "a thousand flowers."
Hundreds of translucent yellow tomatoes on a single truss. Each fruit is about 3/4 inch across and very sweet. Plants are short (under 4 foot) compact, with many, many spreading branches. Cages which completely encircle the plants are almost a requirment.
Fruits hang on the vine for an inordinate length of time while still remaining flavorful.
Millefluer is a good candidate for growing in a container ( 5 gal +), however, it will need a sturdy cage.
HISTORY: A centiflor vine tomato variety developed by Alan Kapuler of Peace Seeds, from a cross made by his daughter, Kusra.
Sold in a 3.5" pot.
