70 days. This totally unique variety is amazing! Smooth, 2 to 3 ounce fruit starts off green with dark green stripes and striking indigo colored splashes. Fruit ripens to spangled brick-red with green stripes, complemented by lots of black anthocyanin, giving this a very striking multi-colored finish. Very good, sweet rich and juicy flavor. Great ability to hang on the vine ripe and stay edible better than most. Good post-harvest shelf life, maintaining superb eating quality for weeks. Very productive, too. This release from Brad Gates is a triumph! -

“Cosmic Eclipse” is an eye-catching variety from Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms. Its flashy appearance made me wary of how it would taste. But beneath all of the stripes and spots and purple shoulders, there lies one delicious chocolate small salad tomato. The flesh is succulent, juicy, rich and sweet. This one is the best-tasting of all of the varieties from Mr. Gates that I have grown so far. I do not know if this is a stable variety yet, so I will list it as developing.
