One of the most amazing and unique tomatoes I have grown. Although though this variety is only 3 generations old, it appears stable with the exception of some size variance.

As it ripens it turns a rusty red on the bottom and shades of black with spots and flecks that almost give it a 3 dimensional look. INDETERMINATE..
