The PRIDE tomato is a medium-ripening determinate variety with a compact plant up to 1 meter tall, making it suitable for cultivation in open ground and under temporary plastic covers. The plants are low-growing and do not require pinching, simplifying care. The leaves are broad, and the overall appearance of the plant is attractive due to the unusual color and shape of the fruits.
PRIDE tomato fruits have round or slightly elongated shapes, weighing between 100 to 200 grams. Their color ranges from deep red-purple to purple-chocolate and golden-yellow shades with a warm tint. The flesh is meaty, with a delightful sweet flavor and fruity notes, and the seeds in the fruits are minimal. This combination of flavor qualities makes the tomatoes versatile for fresh consumption and all types of preservation.
The PRIDE variety was developed in the United States, in the state of Ohio, by crossing Green Sosidj and Cherokee Purple varieties, which gave it unique characteristics and an attractive appearance. Due to the unusual shape and color of the fruits, the tomato plants look very striking, which can serve as an additional decoration for your garden or bed.
