Description
Meet our favorite new tomato! Elongated, variable-sized cherry tomatoes grow in clusters (some to plum-size), displaying an amazing array of color: lavender and purple stripes, turning a technicolor olive-green, red, and then brown/blue stripes when fully ripe. Fruits hold well on the vine or off. Crack-resistant, extraordinarily sweet and packed with full-on tomato flavor. Wispy foliage looks delicate, but belies these plants’ rugged constitution and high productivity. Incredible-looking when simply halved and tossed with salt, pepper and good olive oil. Indeterminate.
