Ukrainian Purple Tomato

Ukrainian Purple Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) This is a wonderful heirloom tomato with Ukrainian origins to the southern rural region of Kiev. Our seed source came to us in 1999, courtesy of the Zelinski family of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Expect high yields of 5 to 7 ounces purplish-red plum tomatoes that are quite meaty and flavourful. Gorgeous plum-shaped fruits are 3-4 inches long and generally crack-free.
