The fruit is uniformly blocky, approximately 9 x 9 cm and ripens to a uniform bright red that is suitable for pre-packing and bulk packaging.  Fruit set is balanced over the full production cycle of the plant. SVPB1987 has resistance against Bacterial leaf spot race 0-3,7,8 (Xcv:0-3,7,8), Powdery mildew (Leveillula taurica Lt), Tobacco mosaic virus (Tm0) and intermediate resistance to Phytophthora (Pc), Tomato spotted wilt (TSWV).
