Details
The Blue Smoke Tomato is a medium-early, high-yielding variety that combines visual appeal with excellent flavor. This tall, indeterminate plant produces an abundance of round fruits with a striking red-blue coloration, thanks to the presence of anthocyanins in the skin. The blue blush intensifies with sun exposure, creating a beautiful contrast against the rich red base.
The fruits are juicy and flavorful, offering a well-balanced taste that is both sweet and slightly tangy. This makes them ideal for fresh eating, salads, and a variety of culinary uses. With its robust production and unique appearance, the Blue Smoke Tomato is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add a touch of beauty and deliciousness to their harvest. Its combination of high yields, medium-early maturity, and versatile flavor make it a standout in any tomato garden.
