Description
Excellent flavor and incredibly large yields are the hallmarks of this delightful cherry tomato. Loaded with the high antioxidant levels that are making the Indigo™ tomatoes famous. At 1–1 ¼ inches across, Indigo™ Cherry Drops are deep, rosy-red with a black-purple cast. The strong, indeterminate plants are non-stop, heavy producers. Trialed in a member garden in 2020 and voted a family favorite for its sweet, almost smoky flavor. 4" pots.
Bred by Dr. Jim Myers at Oregon State University using traditional breeding techniques, the fruit of the "Indigo" varieties contain high levels of anthocyanin, a naturally occurring antioxidant found in blueberries, and reported to combat disease. Anthocyanin reveals itself in the vibrant indigo pigmentation of the fruits. For the best flavor and texture, harvest when the colors have deepened and the fruit is soft to the touch.
