★★★★★ Dwarf Purple Heartthrob's great sister variety

The Hearty family provided our project with two wonderful tomatoes - Dwarf Purple Heartthrob, and this - similar size, shape, flavor - but the yellow skin make it appear to be chocolate with gold and green stripes. The interior color is so luxurious. And it produces like crazy!
