Anyway, Totally Tomatoes has it described as "a cross between Indigo Rose and a red cherry tomato. First of all, wasn't Indigo Rose just made available by Oregon State Univ. in 2013? How then could seeds be available for a stable, open pollinated variety resulting from a cross with Indigo Rose and a cherry tomato? Maybe it's an F1 hybrid?

Secondly, if Apple is an F1 hybrid, it certainly appears, from the catalog photo, to be a bit large for a first generation cross between Indigo Rose and any cherry tomato I've ever seen.

Maybe Brad or Tom has the answers.

Indigo Rose seeds were made available last year, see the announcement from Oregon State in thelink below and also the various threads at GW

Is this Indigo Apple that you were thinking of? If so, bred by Brad Gates. Not sure which Apple you refer to but I prefer Honeycrisp ones.

Hope that helps, somewhat,
