Tomato 'Purple Haze'

I grew this for the first time during the summer of 2015 in Salt Lake City. We had a couple weeks of triple digit heat early-on and then...Read More a more moderate and dry remainder of the summer. This plant grew vigorously and was one of the largest vines in my garden. It produced lovely slightly-larger than golf ball sized fruits in great volume. The tomatoes are smooth and round colored dark purple with overtones of green. I had no issue with cracking of fruits or BER. This plant was grown in an Earthbox. I picked the first tomato 76 days after transplant, and recorded 165 usable tomatoes throughout the harvest season. The fruits were consistently superior in flavor- they were my wife's absolute favorite. Hints of earthy/saltiness were always balanced by a lovely sweet and refreshing main note. It was a plant that simply did not produce bad tasting tomatoes. It grew and yielded tomatoes vigorously up until frost. It had no signs of foliar disease all season. I will grow it every year going forward if I can find a supplier for it.

Of note, this was a regular-leaf plant obtained from selectedplants.com
