Climbing (indeterminate). Large beefsteak tomato with blue-black shoulders over red skin. Fruits can be smooth or ridged. The blue on the skin develops on the parts of the fruit in direct sun, the rest of the skin turning from green to red as it ripens. The red flesh is meaty with an aromatic and slightly acidic flavour, suited to salads and sandwiches. A 'modern heirloom' bred by Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms. Sunburn and crack resistant. Also known as 'Indigo Blue Beauty'.
