Tomato with the darkest foliage

[Shule]

I noticed today that Chocolate Chestnut has the darkest foliage of any tomato I've ever grown. It was pretty much purple all over. I was pretty surprised and not just because I had forgotten that it was a high anthocyanin tomato. Hopefully I'll get a picture of it next week. I'm excited to see if it keeps it up as it grows larger.

What tomato has had the darkest foliage for you?

Pineapple. Kind of looks a deep blue green. Hillbilly PL is dark also.

so the darkest ...gives the impression of more healthy robust plants ?
What happens to these dark foliage ones if they get an extra over fertilizer shot ?

They explode with growth or burn up just like any other plant.

I was pretty amazed by the foliage on Indigo Apple. The anthocynin that contributes to the purple coloring on the tomato also affects the leaves as well.

I'm growing a PL dwarf for the first time this year. Dark green and beautiful foliage.

Also Black Beauty obviously has dark foliage and dark stems...

Most of my tomatoes turned quite dark, when they recovered from that cold snap I had. The cherry tomatoes aren't as dark as the rest, but still darker than usual. Here's one of the rows:

I was given a Black Beauty plant and amazed at how dark it is. My first plant with anthocynin so learned something new about those varieties!

My first year growing it as well. Seeds from Marsha. Here's a video from Brad Gates showing how to determine ripeness...

Here's a picture of Chocolate Chestnut some days ago. It's bigger and less dark now. You can see the new growth isn't as dark (it was darker than in the photo—a day or two before). Please excuse the insect-eaten leaves, the cottonwood fluff, and the dried up tomatoes from last year.

Here's a much lighter tomato (I took the picture the same day and approximate time), for comparison (yes, I plan to thin it, potentially today; it's bigger than in the picture, now, too):

Queen of the Night and Cosmic Eclipse are pretty dark, too, but not quite as dark as Chocolate Chestnut.

EDIT: I thinned all the tomatoes, today, except for three kinds that were much younger than the others.

Video on when to pick Black Beauty very useful! Thanks!

Zogola has very dark green foliage, much darker than anything else in my garden....
