Smurfs
A smaller version of OSU blue (P20), with green tomatoes
turning dark purple and then partially red underneath.
Exposition to direct sunlight is what makes them turn
dark purple. The underside thus remains free of the
coloration, and simply goes from green to dark red. Nice
in between shades. Click thumbnails for closer details.
Round fruits, 3 to 3,5 cm. New anthocyanin selection by
Tom Wagner. Pinkish red flesh gets sweeter at full
maturity. These tomatoes make an interesting addition to
any tomato sauce, adding a touch of mahogany and, of
course, anitoxydants. About 70 days.

Beautiful pulp striped in chartreuse, gold and red. Elongated fruits, similar to Blush, about 5 to 7 cm long. Avoid excess water and/or grow in well-drained soil to prevent cracking. Selected by Fred Hempel in California. Good production. Widely praised for its taste. About 70-75 days.
