GUNMETAL GREY. A new tomato variety from Dean Slater (USA). A true gem for lovers of early, flavorful, and easy-to-grow determinate tomatoes. The plants are compact, reaching only 50-60 cm in height in open ground, making them a perfect choice for small plots, greenhouses, or container growing. The fruits are large, round-flat, multi-locular, with dense yet juicy flesh.

The primary color is black-raspberry with green streaks, and the skin has a unique gray-bronze metallic sheen, giving the tomatoes a highly decorative and striking appearance. Inside, the flesh is deep purple, and the seed cavities are greenish. Fruits weigh between 160 and 330 grams. The flavor is exceptional: rich and fruity, with a subtle sweetness and a barely noticeable acidity.

VARIETY FEATURES

Thanks to their balanced taste, aroma, and juiciness, the fruits are perfect for fresh eating as well as for salads and juice. The variety is early-maturing, close to ultra-early, and one of the first to start producing. Despite the plant’s small size, it delivers a very high yield — the bush is literally covered with large, uniform fruits.

It does not require pruning (suckering), which simplifies care significantly. Extremely resistant to late blight, making it a reliable choice even in humid and unstable weather. One of the most productive and disease-resistant determinate varieties, and likely one of the tastiest among early ones. A true treasure for gardeners seeking abundant harvests with minimal effort.
