Original Description: “Morado (USA). Mid-season variety, bush height 4 feet (1.2 m), fruit weight 1.1 lbs (500 g). Wall of fruit. Exotic. Black-purple, beautiful, rich flavor.”<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ll add to this that the variety is incredibly productive. Even though my bush was on the shorter side; about 2.6 feet (0.8 m); it grew completely outside. The fruits were all massive, weighing 1.1-1.3 lbs (500-600 g), with absolutely no small ones in the mix. However, every single one of them tasted completely bland. My seeds were from A. Kulik.<\/p>\n

I want to jump in and agree that it truly is a massive yielder. My seeds were from Popenko. The bush wasn’t very tall, staying under 3.3 feet (1 m), and it grew outside. It was my absolute discovery of the year!<\/p>\n

The fruits were all beautifully uniform, weighing anywhere from 5.3 oz to 1.1 lbs (150 to 500 g). Mine were probably on the smaller side because I let the bush get away from me and grow into 5 stems… oops! \ud83d\ude33<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Girls, is this a determinate variety? Would it not do well in a greenhouse?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Turns out it is an indeterminate, even though it stays short!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It’s a great variety, completely unpretentious, and grows perfectly fine outside. The fruits are large and ripen right on the vine. Mine didn’t really have a purple tint to them, just the standard color you see on all dark\/black tomatoes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
