Tomato 'Violet Jasper'

'Violet Jasper' tomato is very pretty, making it a good seller at farmers' markets. People can't resist the cherry-sized, purple fruits with green streaks. The flavor is rich and tangy-sweet, but the skin is a bit tough. This thick skin keeps the fruits from cracking, so they stay looking nice. This is a very productive variety.

'Violet Jasper' tomato comes from China, where it is called 'Tzi Bi U'.
