This is my favorite blue tomato. Very productive cherry tomato. Plants normally start out with a distinct blue hue to them. Foliage is a bit finely cut, but not weepy like a heart. The flavor is much better than most blues. Top turns almost black during the green stage where sunlight directly hits it. Bottom stays green until ripe when it turns a beautiful sunset like orange red color. My customers at market love this in mixed baskets. Disease resistance is pretty good too. I always grow this one.
