My Indigo Rose tomatoes are finally ready
« Reply #-1 on: September 04, 2014, 11:29:37 AM »
 A few months ago I posted about the healthy Indigo Rose Tomato from Oregon State University. Here over 90 days later, it is finally ready. A beautiful looking purple top with a red bottom which shows that it is ripe



Loads of tomatoes on the plant and a really nice sort of spicy taste to them and lots of the purple anthocyanin (like blueberries have) which is the healthy part. The size is about 2 inches and I grew them in the Topsy Tervy bags.



Will definitely grow these next year.

I know they are a tomato, but they look like a cross breed of a plum and an apple. Those are beautiful.
