\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Purple Dragon<\/strong> is an indeterminate<\/strong> anthocyanin saladette tomato bred by American breeder Mark McCaslin<\/strong> (Frogsleap Farm). The 1.5-2.5 oz (40-70 g) pointed plums transition from jet inky-black when unripe to a glossy orange-red with purple splashes. Growers praise its candy-like, fruity-spicy sweetness and continuous blossom setting, though gardeners note stubborn calyx attachment and minor genetic drift in secondary seed trades.<\/p>\n

Seeds came from Ruslan Kulik in Ukraine. Straight up: this was my absolute number-one favorite variety out of all 80 varieties I planted in 2015! <\/p>\n
