Purple Candle is an early-maturing indeterminate tomato variety, distinguished by abundant fruiting and high yield. Plants reach up to 1.7 meters in height and have moderate leafiness. Fruits form in complex clusters of 8-12 pieces, with the first fruit set above the 6th-7th leaf, and subsequent fruits every two leaves.
The tomato fruits are cylindrical with a characteristic 'nose', weighing between 60 to 110 grams. The color of ripe fruits is raspberry, they are dense, aromatic, and have good flavor. Tomatoes are not prone to cracking, ensuring their preservation during harvesting and transport. Fruits ripen well after picking, even when harvested at the milky or breaker stage.
This variety is suitable for both fresh consumption and canning. Under proper agronomic practices, yield reaches 7.5-8.5 kg per square meter. Due to its characteristics, 'Purple Candle' is an excellent choice for gardeners aiming to obtain an early and abundant harvest of tasty and attractive tomatoes.
