Variety characteristics:

• 428 Orange Chupa Chups is a highly productive tomato producing round to slightly oblate fruits weighing approximately 3.5 to 12.3 oz. The tomatoes mature to brilliant golden orange and deep apricot, often developing raspberry-pink blushes, bronze striping, and purple anthocyanin shading around sun-exposed shoulders. Their dense, juicy interiors display attractive orange and pink-red marbling. Rich sweetness, intense fruitiness, and a smooth, aromatic tomato finish make the fruits especially rewarding for fresh eating. Vigorous indeterminate vines grow approximately 5.9 to 6.6 feet tall and require sturdy staking or trellising. This collector line may produce variation in fruit color, marbling, and anthocyanin coverage. Excellent for slicing, sandwiches, salads, salsa, juice, roasting, and colorful tomato platters.
