Originally developed by J & L Gardens in New Mexico, 'Bosque Blue Bumblebee' is a cross between 'Amy's Sugar Gem' and 'OSU Blue' (the bluest tomato on the market). Bred to naturally contain high levels of anthocyanins, similar to blueberries, pomegranates and red onions.

Fruits grow in clusters, producing countless 2-inch round cherry tomatoes. 

As fruits develop, colour changes from purply-blue to golden yellow with deep purple-blue shoulders.

Flavour is sweet and juicy. Flesh is nice and thick too, while the skin breaks down easily when you chew.

Growing information:

Plants are indeterminate and require good staking to support tall growing vines and trusses laden with fruit.

Start seeds indoors at least 6 - 8 weeks before the final frost date. Please refer to my Seed Starting Calculator for specific planting dates for your area.

Transplant outdoors after all risk of frost has passed and space your plants a minimum of 2 to 3 feet apart, depending on how well you stake them. Be sure to stay on top of removing suckers.

Tomatoes grow best in full sun.
