Pruden's Purple Tomato
$4.50
Solanum lycopersicum
A beefsteak tomato that ripens to a beautiful pink colour at about one pound per fruit, often with deep ridges near the crown. The distinct pink colour doesn’t last long so watch for the best harvest time. A potato leaf variety, Pruden’s Purple does show some resistance to late blight and fares well with the pruning of infected leaves and stems. While a beautiful tomato, it is also very flavourful and has diverse uses - being great for sauces and for slicing. Its low seed content makes it a treat to work with but a challenge as a seed crop! 70 to 75 days.
