Mid Season green olive shaped fruit on indeterminate, regular leafed plants. Fruit have dark green undertones but can be tri-coloured.
Description
A new one for us in 2025. We grow green tomatoes just to give a variety of colour but this one also sounded as though it would have a “zingy” sharp flavour. Its often difficult to work out when green tomatoes are ripe but these sound as though they will change colour a bit like Aunt Ruby’s German Green which go multi-coloured when their ready to pick.
Late fruiting. Its early September and none ripe yet (although as with all green tomatoes it’s difficult to tell). Evil Olive are difficult to pick, there’s no weak spot on the stem so it looks as though we’ll have to use secateurs).
Mid October and picked the first fruit. However, they remain hard. Haven’t tried a raw fruit because they really don’t seem ripe.
I have a feeling that this is one tomato I’ll never grow again. At the start of November, they’re still hard and have an incredibly bitter taste. The plants are extremely heavy croppers but I don’t think they represent anything worthwhile.
