\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Strangelove<\/strong> is an indeterminate<\/strong> anthocyanin novelty tomato bred by Bill Yoder<\/strong> as part of his musical Depeche Mode<\/em> line. It features round-to-oblate 3.5-5.5 oz (100-150 g) fruits swirled in yellow-orange, raspberry stripes, and dark antho splashes, opening up to a sweet, fruity bicolor interior. Excellent candidate for 3-stem pruning with late-season holding ability. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Strangelove – a variety from the “Depeche Mode” series bred by Bill Yoder (USA). Named after the famous track by the British band Depeche Mode.
\nPlant habit: Indeterminate. Vines reached roughly 6.5 ft (2 m) under poly by the end of the season.
\nFruit: Round to slightly oblate, a few showing gentle ribbing. Base color is yellow-orange marked with raspberry striping and deep anthocyanin shoulders.
\nFlesh: Beautiful bicolor – orange flesh featuring a distinctive pink starburst right in the center. Sweet, aromatic, with noticeable fruity nuances.
\nFruit weight: Averages around 3.5-5.5 oz (100-150 g).
\nProductivity: Generous clusters. In my setup, pruning to 3 stems was the sweet spot.
\nHarvest window: Produces steadily right until frost, and the picked fruit hold up quite well in storage.
\nKitchen use: Terrific fresh slicer and versatile enough for culinary processing.
