Honeymoon tomato - JJB - 19-07-2024
Honeymoon is a new tomato to me. This one fell off the truss in a fit of pique. I'm hoping it will ripen up eventually in the fruit bowl with the apples and bananas. I intend to improvise a sling for the remaining ones.

That’s a big tomato. And perfectly shaped. What colour is this variety when ripe?

Kings seeds say: A tomato with a difference, like dynamite in your mouth! Large 250-300g Pink fruits are fleshy, sweet and have an explosion of flavour unlike any other tomato we have tasted.

So I'd say pink, but I've not had a ripe one yet.

I look forward to your taste test. It’s definitely a good looking thing.

I hope the others stay on the vine. The gh one is thriving, the outside one not so much. I'm also a bit suspicious about my labelling as the outside one isn't as round looking, more knobbly. Time will tell.

I picked what I thought was a fine looking Honeymoon tomato only to find it had BER. Notwithstanding the disappointment I cut off the bottom to give it a taste. It is truly a lovely tasting tomato, even with BER, not overly sweet and with a tingly tomato taste which I attribute to the acidity. I will grow again.
