The big cherry tomato sized fruits are enclosed by a papery husk and are of astonishing flavours. It's the combination of tomatoey and lime flavours that make them ideal for salsas and other Mexican and Southamerican dishes. The fruits turn purple in patches on the plant but become more coloured when the fruit is exposed to sunlight after harvesting. This landrace has been bred by Wild Mountain Seed, USA, particularly with disease resistance and reliable production as a goal. A diverse parentage of strains ensure a genetic diversity, yearly selections where made to increase vigour and productivity while keeping an eye on disease resistance as well.
