Jupiter's Glow

• An American creation by Blane Horton: Jupiter's Glow is a recent tomato variety developed by Blane Horton in the United States. Its dark reddish-purple fruits with green shoulders and rich, full flavour make it especially appealing to lovers of dark tomatoes.
• Purple-red beefsteaks with ribbed shoulders: The fruits are round to flattened, with noticeable ribbing around shoulders that retain green to olive-brown tones. The supplied variety card lists fruits weighing 120 to 200 grams, while another seed supplier gives 80 to 100 grams. Fruit size may therefore differ between growing lines and conditions.
• Juicy flesh with green seed gel: Inside, the tomatoes have meaty, juicy reddish-purple flesh with green gel around the seeds. Their flavour is rich, full and distinctly tomato-like, without the need for exaggerated claims about sweetness or acidity. Delicious fresh, in salads or thick slices.
• Indeterminate but moderately vigorous: The plants have an indeterminate growth habit, regular foliage and moderate vigour. According to the supplied variety information, they reach approximately 1.6 metres in height. Suitable support helps carry the medium-sized beefsteak fruits.
• Steady harvests in successive waves: From midseason onwards, Jupiter's Glow gives good harvests, often in successive flushes. Under favourable conditions, production may continue until the first frost. An attractive choice for gardeners seeking a dark tomato with characterful flavour and manageable growth.
