These are called "Matt's Wild Cherry"tomatoes. The color is this intense. At first I thought they didn't taste good. They need to sit on the vine for a week or two, after they turn red. This is the only tomato of the six or seven varieties that I grow that gets no late blight at all. According to the folks at "Totally Tomatoes", a catalog that I order from, there is no variety that does not get late blight. According to Fedco Seeds ,this tomato was found growing wild in Mexico. These tomatoes are approximately the size of the wild tomatoes that I found growing in Hawaii, where I lived a number of years ago.
