Description
“True Colours differs from Taiga in several ways. More raspberry marbling. Generally larger,
earlier, and blunter in shape. The earliest of the true north series. Potato leaf green-when-ripe,
bicolour oxheart” – Karen Olivier
True Colours is part of Karen Olivier’s True North Series which includes: Midnight Sun Indeterminate Slicing Tomato Seeds, Taiga Indeterminate Slicing Tomato Seeds, Chinook Indeterminate Tomato Seeds, Tundra Indeterminate Tomato Seeds and Beefsteak: Polaris Indeterminate Tomato Seeds
Here are my thoughts on which is best for you. Midnight Sun is the most beautiful, maybe tied to Taiga for taste. True Colours is the highest yielding and earliest to ripen, slightly sweeter than Taiga and less yellow inside. Chinook and Tundra have a great meaty texture. All are Oxhearts, other than Polaris.
