Details
This extremely prolific tomato variety is a standout with its deep red-black fruits, larger than typical grape tomatoes, and boasting a unique plum shape. The skins of these tomatoes are not only beautiful but also encase a juicy texture that is perfect for snacking. These indeterminate plants with regular leaf foliage produce an abundance of deep chocolate-brown grape tomatoes. The flavor profile of these tomatoes is exceptionally sweet and rich, coupled with a crisp, crunchy texture that makes them a favorite among fresh market vendors, chefs, and home gardeners alike.
