B.C KO T

indet., regular leaf, high yield of small round fruits growing in clusters of 6-9. Although it is certainly a red tomato, the fruit color is somewhat unusual - not quite red but with some greenish tint on outside, and dark pink, almost purple inside, with greenish gel. Excellent sharp flavor, right combination of meat and juice.
