Growing Information
Growing Purple Boy Hybrid Tomato
Best entry yet in the ever more popular ‘dark’ or ‘black’ tomato category! Deep violet, even darker than heirloom favorite Cherokee Purple, but with a great hybrid disease package and an intense rich flavor possessed only by the grand heirlooms. Flavor is strongly tangy and juicy, with the perfect acid balance. Its compact, habit needs staking and benefits from pruning.
