KLYUV PELIKANA (Pelican’s Beak).
(Rebel Starfighter VT16 x Black Beauty).
This is an unstable variety, so expect some segregation. Plant height is around 4.5 feet (1.4 m), mid-season.
It mostly has a black color on top that transitions into a beautiful reddish-purple on the bottom. The tomatoes on the exact same plant can actually vary in color intensity, so keep an eye out for some really interesting variations!! The flavor is rich, on the sweet side with a nice little tang to it.
