Tomato Purple Calabash Organic

Tomato Purple Calabash Organic. A very unusual shaped purple Heirloom variety seen as far back as the 16thcentury in herbal books. Despite its odd looks it delivers a very distinctive and strong slightly sharp tomato flavor. Fantastic in salads for both its flavour and stunning colour. Indeterminate.
