80 days. Costoluto refers to the distinct flattened, heavily-ribbed shape of various Italian heirlooms. This gorgeous selection comes from Florence and impressed us with its early maturity of brilliant red, 4 inch wide by 1 1/2 inch tall tomatoes.
This is one of my favorite cherry tomatoes. Plants are VERY PRODUCTIVE, yielding all season. A unique cherry tomato with small, creamy white-yellow fruits glazed in a beautiful amethyst-purple color. Plants show very nice production.
Originally from Tom Wagner and grown out by Gary Cass in Hawaii. A uniquely colored variety with pear shaped fruits that ripen with an attractive blotchy pattern of pastel colors. The plump fruits make good eating too!

Indigo Apple is an extraordinary tomato, an eye catcher, to say the least, plants produce beautiful pendant clusters of 3-4 oz, tomatoes deep purple to black colors (caused by high levels of anthocyanin - a naturally occurring anti-oxidant.)
A medium-sized, determinant, exotic tomato variety from Tom Wagner. Recommended for growing outdoors and greenhouses. The bush is very beautiful, with fluffy leaves and trunk, green with a slightly bluish tinge.
This dual purpose tomato brings flamboyant orange, yellows and reds to sauces and stands out when sliced and eaten fresh. The fruits are meaty, with few seeds and super tasty. We love how the unique striped fruits hang on the plants; you can't miss them!

This is a very interesting variety that has circulated around some farmers markets in the SF Bay Area. The variety appears to have similarities to the famous Piennolo tomatoes grown on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius.

I expected a mediocre flavor from this pale-colored tomato, so I was shocked by its lemony tang. The small-medium 4-6 oz. fruits ripen to pale yellow with light green stripes and have a lemony tangy flavor.
Pineapple Fog looks as cool as it sounds! Originally comes from a cross between the Pineapple tomato and San Francisco Fog tomato. And what a lovely baby they created! These 2-3" tomatoes are yellow, with a strong red blushing.
Mid-ripening, very fruitful variety. Received from crossing Green Sosij and Cherokee Purple. The bush is neat, with drooping foliage, with a height of up to 2 m. Fruits are fleshy, dark purple elongated cream with a spout, very beautiful color and shape.
Surprise even experienced gardeners. During puberty, on the rind of bright yellow tomatoes begin to emerge clearly irregular dark stripes and spots. Fruits rather small, not exceeding 120-130 grams. Variety fertile. Tomatoes reach maturity after about 75.
An astonishing dark purple tomato coming from the breeding work of Jim Myers from Oregon State University (OSU). Green fruits turn gradually to dark purple when exposed to sunlight. Medium size, round fruits.
Bosque Bumblebee is a small salad-type tomato, though still larger than a cherry tomato at about two inches in size, and it has a mild, almost citrusy flavor with an appealing juicy texture.
This variety is certainly a contender for the most fruits produced on a single plant. Bears copious amounts of yellow colored, cherry tomato fruits in huge clusters that can reach 40-60! Nice, mild and sweet flavor. The fruits keep pretty well too.
Elongated, large cherries in clusters. The color (and flavor!) is a full-blown assault on the senses-lavender and purple stripes, turning to technicolor olive-green, red, and brown/blue stripes when fully ripe. Really wild!
