Aftershock

Aftershock is a striking specialty tomato known for its dramatic striping and complex, old‑fashioned flavor. Vigorous vines carry long clusters of medium fruits that ripen from green to deep red with dark anthocyanin blush on sun‑exposed shoulders. Slices show marbled flesh with a rich balance of sweetness and acidity, making it a favorite for caprese and charcuterie boards. Provide tall trellising, full sun, and even moisture to reduce cracking and keep fruit quality high through hot spells. With regular feeding, plants set continuously and reward attentive growers with eye‑catching harvests all summer. Fruits shine in both fresh salads and slow‑simmered sauces where their natural balance comes forward. Plants respond well to consistent moisture and mulching, which helps reduce blossom‑end stress and keeps fruit quality high. Give sturdy support and prune lightly to maintain airflow and make harvest easier as clusters build.
