Rare Tomatoes that look like blueberries!
The Blue Berries tomato, bred by Brad Gates, is a small cherry variety> This variety produces large quantities of 1/2" tomato fruits with deep purple color that are rich in anthocyanins. The tomato turns red when matured in shadier areas and will take a purple/black color where it was exposed to the sun. This indeterminate tomato plant yields a slightly acidic-tasting fruit and continuously produces throughout the season. It is recommended to provide support. Seeds grown and seed saved in Cork, Ireland.
