CHOCOLATE ELEPHANT

Chocolate Elephant tomato is a medium-ripening salad-type variety suitable for cultivation in greenhouses, polytunnels, and open ground. It is an indeterminate, tall plant reaching up to 2 meters in height, with a spreading form and large leaves. For proper plant shaping, staking and training two stems are recommended. The variety is low-maintenance and adaptable to various growing conditions and agronomic practices, making it accessible to gardeners of different experience levels.

The fruit has a flat-round, deeply ribbed shape and large size, weighing between 185 and 500 grams. Its color varies from green with a dark green spot in the unripe stage to rich chocolate or reddish-brown when fully ripe. The skin is thin and firm, while the flesh is juicy, meaty, with a tangy-sweet or sweet flavor and a red tint. The fruit contains high levels of micro- and macroelements, phytoncides, and antioxidants, enhancing its nutritional value.

This variety boasts high yield — up to 8–10 kg per square meter — and resistance to diseases such as late blight and brown spot. Due to its excellent taste and large fruit size, Chocolate Elephant tomato is ideal for immediate consumption after harvesting, as well as for making homemade preserves. It is highly prized for its aroma and tender flesh, making it a popular choice among tomato enthusiasts.
