A brown plum shaped tomato on Indeterminate Plants
Description
A mid/late cropping brown plum shaped tomato very similar to Black Plum. The seeds were part of the 2019 swap but we didn’t get around to growing them for the first time until 2023. Fortunately the seeds seem to have kept and there was no issue germinating them.
The web seems to rave about their taste and suggests that they are good in salads. Our experience (in the one year) is slightly different. The fruits don’t seem to ripen evenly and are not a “clear” colour, being a mix of green and brown. However, they seem to cook well and are good in sauces (as are most brown tomatoes).
