Expect some pleasant surprises with this variable variety. Apart from the shape, which varies from oval to elongated, each fruit will have unique colour patterns. As the fruits ripen, the side exposed to the sun turns purple-black while the other side of the fruit is orange-red, sometimes shot through with purplish streaks. As for the flavour, your local veggie store has nothing to compare with it. It's spicy with a sharp twist. Like most of the darker-coloured varieties, ripening takes a little longer, but the disease resistance of Shadow Boxing tomatoes more than makes up for that.

Growing Information
How to Sow
Tomatoes are best sown in trays about 6-8 weeks prior to the last frost. Sow seeds about 5mm deep and keep the soil temperature to about 20 celcius until germination. Once the plants have grown their second leaves the seedlings can be transplanted into larger individual pots. Keep the tomato seedlings in a warm sunny position and maintain moisture levels. When planting out, position the plants so that soil covers the entire stem up to the first leaves. This will increase root development and ensure a healthy strong plant. Plants should be placed in full sun and rich soil.
How to Harvest
Tomatoes ripened on the vine will be ready once they show their mature colour. The fruits can also be squeezed and should yield slightly when ripe. If frost occurs and temperatures drop late in the season all tomatoes can be picked. Tomatoes that do not ripen on the vine can be ripened indoors by being placed in a warm place out or direct sun.
