Tomato - Pruden's Purple Seeds
Tomato - Pruden's Purple Seeds
It’s not really purple, but deep pink color with slight shoulder ribbing. Plants have potato foliage.
History: Also referred to as Prudence, the seeds were reintroduced in the mid-1980s. This old family heirloom doesn’t have a clear history, but the story attributes its development to an old woman in Eastern Kentucky by the name of Mrs. Pruden. Its fantastic sweet taste rivals Brandywine and it may be easier to grow.

I live in a very windy spot in Mountainair, NM. All three planted outside showed wind stress. Very curled leaves and droopy but they bore some of the best tasting tomatoes. You have to feel them to tell if they are ripe as color is meaningless. Highly recommend these if you are out of the wind. Just picked the last one on November 6, 2021!
