(AKA 'RON'S Carbon Copy')
 
An exceptional tomato, all the way through to the end of the season! Exceptional flavor that really shines in the heat of summer - sweet, smoky and complex.
 
Note that this variety is prone to splitting. To avoid this, pick fruits and allow them to ripen indoors which will not affect the flavor, whatsoever.
 
Also, you must pick by feel and not pick by color alone as there is not a radical color change from immature to fully ripe. As you would expect, fruits begin a normal light green maturing  to a dusky purple rose; fully ripening into a deeper saturation of the same coloration.
 
HISTORY: In 2010 Ron Rhyne of Muskogee, Oklahoma began making intentional crosses using 'Carbon' as the mother and pollen from six varieties of cherries that were growing in his garden at that time in hopes of creating a cherry with the same flavor as 'Carbon'. Ron stated that he is not sure which father actually created the cross but that it didn't really matter to him because he got the end result he was aiming for!
 
Sold in a 3.5" pot.
