Garden Olive is an open-pollinated grape tomato developed by Lee Goodwin of J&L Gardens, a farm and seed company in the US that specialises in heirloom and rare vegetable varieties.
Appearance: It's a delicious dark rust coloured grape tomato. The fruit is "the darkest tomato, inside and out," that Lee Goodwin has created. Fruits have thick outer walls and weigh 40-60g, internally they are a delicious bi-colour of deep red and green.
Flavour: The flavour is quite sublime and quite frankly one of the best tomatoes I've tasted. Garden Olive has a very rich tomato flavour and is exceptionally sweet.
Growth Habit: Indeterminate (vining type), meaning it will continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the season until frost. It's a vigorous, sprawling plants that can exceed 2m height if you let them. Production is heavy.
Maturity: Mid season with first ripe fruit 120-130 days from seed sowing
Development: Lee Goodwin notes that he's been working on this variety for a number of years, repeatedly crossing it back to wild tomatoes to obtain both flavour and disease resistance.
Garden Olive is absolutely a tomato variety that you should grow, highly productive trusses of spectacular rust coloured fruits that have a sublime flavour profile.
