Indigo Blue Berries is a recent variety, which means it is not very stable. There may be certain variations such as no blue anthocyanin or fruits of the right color but of a larger size. We had one bush with tomatoes that failed to meet the original characteristics so we did not collect any seeds from it. You will receive the seeds from Indigo Blue Berries tomatoes shown in our photos. We hope that our tomatoes will preserve their intense black color in the future as well.

If you want to collect the seeds from your Indigo Blue Berries tomatoes, you should collect them only from those fruits that meet the original characteristics. Thus, you will continue the stabilization process. If you like exotic tomatoes (with anthocyanin being really good for your health) you can try growing tomatoes that still need to be stabilized rather than growing stable heirloom varieties only. This is really interesting and exciting.
