“Aurora Blue” – seeds from Valdis Puliņš. His description: “Mid-season, new tomato with anthocyanin. Fruits are pink with blue shoulders, weighing 100-250 g (3.5-9 oz), tasty, sweet, high yield. Bush height is 1.7-1.8 m (5.5-6 ft). Bears fruit until frost.”
From me: “Hangs on the vine for a long time, doesn’t drop off, and doesn’t crack.” A real handsome guy — antho tomatoes are my absolute weakness.
Repeated this wonderful little tomato. And once again, it didn’t let me down.
