Olive Tomato 'Blush Tiger' / 'Blush'

A unique beauty, this small tomato is beautifully striped, elongated like an olive, and in ripe color: yellow with pink-red stripes. The fruits do not burst easily and are deliciously sweet with a nice acid balance. They are easy to pick and are, of course, very popular in restaurants! The plants are climbing (so prune side shoots) and quite disease-resistant, partly due to the fine, feathery leaves. The variety comes from Artisan Seeds, see their Facebook page…

The smallest tomatoes in our assortment are called cherry tomatoes or ping-pong tomatoes, depending on their size. Some varieties are elongated or heart-shaped and are given a slightly different name accordingly. Some are even original, wild species. Most taste extra sweet, a few have a sweet and sour taste. Cherry tomatoes are closest to the original species, which is probably why they are generally more resistant to the dreaded potato blight.
