Indigo – Apple

Price range: $4.50 through $405.00

A real beauty and early ripening. Heavy sets of unripe fruit show lots of purple, which is brought on by the sunlight and will eventually turn almost a true black. This is caused by the high anthocyanin level (the powerful antioxidant found in blueberries). This variety was developed using an original cross made by PKS Heirlooms in Copemish, Michigan. Good sweet tomato flavor. Bred by Brad Gates. Indeterminate, 70 days from transplant.
