Variety characteristics:

• 482 Tartufo is an unusual anthocyanin-colored micro dwarf tomato that typically remains only 10 to 12 in tall. Its compact, determinate plants are ideal for containers, sunny patios, balconies, windowsills, and limited-space gardens. The large, round cherry tomatoes weigh approximately 0.7 oz and ripen to deep red or red-purple with dramatic blue-black shoulders, especially where exposed to direct sunlight. The flesh is firm yet juicy with a pleasantly sweet, full tomato flavor. Allow the lower portion of each fruit to develop its mature red-purple color before harvesting.
