\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Hunk Purple is an indeterminate, mid-season potato leaf variety bred by Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms (USA). It produces meaty, purple-black tomatoes weighing up to 5.3 oz (150 g). Despite slow germination and some early cold damage when grown outdoors, growers report that it reliably sets fruit all season long. It stands out for its consistently sweet, highly-rated flavor, even during a tough summer. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Indeterminate, mid-season variety. Potato leaf. The seeds took forever to germinate, and then the vine ended up outdoors and got nipped by the cold. Because of that, I really can’t judge the overall yield fairly, but it did keep setting fruit reliably.<\/p>\n

Considering how few varieties grown outdoors actually gave me good flavor this summer, this one was a really pleasant surprise. The flavor was consistently great all summer long, nicely sweet; I\u2019d give it a solid 4.75 out of 5. The tomatoes are purple-black, some have faint stripes, medium size up to 5.3 oz (150 g), and nice and meaty.<\/p>\n
