\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Purple Sunrise<\/strong> (also circulated as Purpura R\u012bts<\/strong> or Purple Morning<\/strong>) is an indeterminate<\/strong>, mid-season anthocyanin slicer brought into wider cultivation by Latvian seed saver Valdis Puli\u0146\u0161<\/strong> via an Austrian collector. The vine yields gorgeous oblate fruits weighing 5 to 11 oz (150-300 g)<\/strong> with creamy pale-yellow skin splashed with glossy, ink-black shoulders and tender, melting flesh. Growers from Moscow down to the Canary Islands rate it as one of the sweetest, lowest-acid yellow anthos available, setting every flower truss even through summer heatwaves.

Seeds sourced from Valdis Puli\u0146\u0161. Gorgeous and delicious variety, sweet with pleasant exotic tropical fruit undertones. The vine reached 6 ft (1.8 m) tall. First fruits sized up larger than the advertised weight, easily passing 7 to 9 oz (200-250 g).
\nActs as a mid-early producer and kept pumping out fruit right until autumn frost. Yield gets a solid 4 out of 5 from me.
\nWas very pleasantly surprised by this one! \ud83d\udc4d

Grew it for the first time this season. Really impressed with the performance. Stout, vigorous vines, stellar yields, outstanding shelf appeal on the counter, and a thoroughly respectable sweet flavor.

Purple Sunrise (Purpura Rits). The exact background of this variety remains unconfirmed. Our Latvian collector friend Valdis Puli\u0146\u0161 received it from an Austrian collector under the tags ‘Purple Sunrise’ and ‘Purple Morning’. In Latvia, according to their regional registration guidelines, it was listed under the Latvian name Purpura Rits. So across online seed circles, you will see it pop up under all four names.
\nThis is a magnificent mid-season indeterminate with terrific productivity and a very extended fruiting window. It set every single truss without dropping blossoms. The plant stretches up to 6 ft (1.8 m) tall, forming a stout vine with regular foliage. The fruits carry rich anthocyanin, oblate and symmetrical with clean, smooth skin. During hot, baking summers, the fruit skin develops prominent, eye-catching striping.
\nThe tomatoes feature tender, pale yellow skin topped with an ink-like violet-blue tan over the shoulders. Interior meat is golden-yellow, dense, moderately firm, with a velvety melt-in-your-mouth texture. Fruit weight runs mostly 7 to 11 oz (200-300 g).
\nFlavor is pure top shelf, with a soft, delicate tropical fruit complexity. For my palate, Purple Sunrise is hands down the best tasting yellow antho in this entire class. Huge gratitude to Valdis for sharing the seeds. I’ve spent the past two seasons distributing seeds to fellow hobbyists, and thanks to our forum members, several international breeders and seed savers have gotten hold of it and fallen in love with it too.

Purple Sunrise. Finally got around to growing this beauty \ud83d\udc4d and what a treat! \ud83d\ude0b
\nAn uncommonly gorgeous tomato: pale buttery-cream body paired with glossy, ink-black shoulders that turn nearly pitch black. Weight stayed in the 5 to 9 oz range (150-250 g). The flavor is exceedingly delicate and sugary, a truly stellar representative of the blue tomato family! \ud83d\ude18
