The Cosmic Eclipse is an indeterminate tomato variety developed by Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms, prized for its unique, multi-coloured appearance and rich flavour. Its appearance changes as it ripens, moving from green with dark stripes to a mix of brick-red, deep purple, and golden bronze hues.
Characteristics
Appearance: A small to medium-sized fruit, typically weighing between 60 and 90 grams. The colour is its most distinguishing feature, with striking iridescent green stripes and black anthocyanin (a type of antioxidant) splashes over a ripening red or golden background. The purple and black tones become more pronounced with increased sun exposure.
Taste: It has a rich, juicy, and sweet flavour balanced with a mild tang. Some reviews also describe a hint of smokiness. The texture is firm yet tender, making it great for slicing.
Growth habit: This is a climbing (indeterminate) variety, meaning the vigorous vines will continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the season until the first frost. It requires sturdy support, such as stakes or trellises.
