Purple Smaragd tomato is an indeterminate heirloom variety originating from Wienerwald, Austria. This vibrant tomato has purple fruits with green stripes and a pointed end, weighing up to 120 grams. With a mild, sweet flavor and juicy, non-floury flesh, it is perfect in salads or sliced and can even be used in sauces. The wispy foliage and abundant production from mid-season to frost make it a must-have for any garden. Seeds grown and seed saved in Cork, Ireland.
