A Delicious Galactic Beauty--With mottled skin resembling a scene from deep space, each fascinating fruit depicts the depth and beauty of the night sky. Dark Galaxy bears 2-8 ounce fruit that is flattened, with red and orange stripes covered in random speckles, and layered by deep blue. The vines themselves display a purple blush and grow 5-6 feet tall while producing good amounts of the stunning tomatoes that begin to ripen in about 75 days. The taste is a perfect balance of tangy-sweetness--so juicy and refreshing! Each fruit is a unique work of art, sure to be a garden and tabletop centerpiece! Another stunning tomato from Brad Gates.

Review:
I can't understand how people can dislike this tomato. I grow 17 different tomatoes during 2018 and this is one of my topp 5 favs. The size varies from small to almost beef sized fruits. The fruits has alot of meat and the parts with the seeds in it is smaller, I also liked the texture, it was firm. The maturity time was okay, it was in the middle, slower than red and yellow ones but faster then green and beef tomatoes. I gave some seeds to my friends and they agreed that these are a new favorite tomato. They do look stunning and I loved them, will grow again and again! I live in Sweden in zone 5, pretty cold climate, I use green house for tomatoes. We had a super dry and hot summer and many tomatoes splitt, this did splitt to, but held up better then Pink bumblebee, Tasmanian blushing yellow or Tigrella.
1-3 oz. fruit, Mid-season. One of the most amazing and unique tomatoes I have grown. Although though this variety is only 3 generations old, it appears stable with the exception of some size variance. Unripe fruits start off green with purple anthocynin slashes and purple spotting. As it ripens it turns a rusty red on the bottom and shades of black with spots and flecks that almost give it a 3 dimensional look. I have great production.

Dark Galaxy is another Brad Gates super hits! This black tomato matures with red blotches and tiny white spots looking like stars in the wide universe. And if beauty alone was not enough, this pretty tomato is as tasty as it is gorgeous. Black tomatoes also are very healthy, being high in anti-oxidants thought to prevent certain cancers. Put this star in your gardening galaxy! 75 Days. Indeterminate
