Acquiring the seeds for the Great White Blues tomato was very difficult, and eventually came from France. The tomato is a contrast of the darkest blue tomato and the whitest white, making for the most unique visual of any tomato I\u2019ve grown. This shockingly beautiful tomato resulted as a segregate from the Great White and OSU P20 cross created by St\u00e9phane Marier (owner of Solano Seeds) from Canada. This variety performs well in cold weather regions. There are several different grow outs with slightly different phenotype expression. First Reinhard Kraft grew out the F1 generation but gave seeds to his fellow breeders and was not quite stable which lead to many good versions that vary in shape, size and color but carry that distinct black antho shoulders covering the crisp white flesh. The names are almost identical in some cases and could be mistaken; \u201cGreat White Blues\u201d, instead of \u201cGreat White Blue.\u201d<br \/><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2509\" src=\"http:\/\/thegardenofeatn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Great-White-Blues-3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"288\" height=\"216\" \/>The flesh of this variety is very meaty, extremely juicy and one of the sweetest out there. Best to grow in full sun for the most brilliant display of skin to flesh contrast. Some people say that it is necessary to support the fruits with pantyhose because the fruits produce in great abundance, but I have not noticed this. The unusual thing is they grow numerous fruits on truss more like an abundant cherry variety. The flavor gets more intense as the season turns cold and will decrease in seed number as season comes to an end. This is one tomato you don\u2019t want to miss!<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<div data-align-buttons=\"true\" data-block-name=\"woocommerce\/handpicked-products\" data-columns=\"1\" data-content-visibility=\"{&quot;title&quot;:false,&quot;price&quot;:true,&quot;rating&quot;:false,&quot;button&quot;:true}\" data-edit-mode=\"false\" data-products=\"[4359]\" class=\"wc-block-grid wp-block-handpicked-products wp-block-woocommerce-handpicked-products wc-block-handpicked-products has-1-columns has-multiple-rows has-aligned-buttons goe-cart-button\"><ul class=\"wc-block-grid__products\"><li class=\"wc-block-grid__product\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/thegardenofeatn.com\/?product=great-white-blues\" class=\"wc-block-grid__product-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wc-block-grid__product-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/thegardenofeatn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/tomato-icon-e1587330954761.png\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" alt=\"Great White Blues\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wc-block-grid__product-price price\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\"><span class=\"woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol\">&#036;<\/span>10.00<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-button wc-block-grid__product-add-to-cart\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thegardenofeatn.com\/?product=great-white-blues\" aria-label=\"Read more about &ldquo;Great White Blues&rdquo;\" data-quantity=\"1\" data-product_id=\"4359\" data-product_sku=\"\" data-price=\"10\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"wp-block-button__link  add_to_cart_button\">Waitlist<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>More plants?<\/strong>Come to the Garden of Eat&#8217;n and discover our 2021 varieties.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:buttons -->\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons\"><!-- wp:button {\"customBackgroundColor\":\"#376e24\",\"className\":\"is-style-outline\"} -->\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"http:\/\/thegardenofeatn.com\/?post_type=product\">Continue shopping<\/a><\/div>\r\n<!-- \/wp:button --><\/div>\r\n<p><!-- \/wp:buttons --><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Great White Blues tomato is an Indeterminate vine and ripens in about 80 days.
