Tomato 'Violet Jasper'
(72 days)
25 seeds $3.00
Violet Jasper tomato is so pretty! It's a good seller at the farmers market. People can't resist the cherry-size, purple fruits with green streaks. The small fruits weigh 1-2 ounces. The flavor is rich and tangy-sweet, but the skin is a bit tough. That's what keeps the fruits from cracking, so they stay looking nice. Very productive.
Tomato 'Violet Jasper' comes from China, where it is called Tzi Bi U.
