Sutton Seeds had previously created the the planet’s only black tomato and has now blended it with a white strain to create the monochrome fruit
A plant breeder has blended two varieties to create the world’s first BLACK and WHITE tomato plant.

Experts at Sutton Seeds previously made a strain called Indigo Rose - the planet’s only black tomato .

But now they have blended the Indigo Rose with a white-cherry strain to produce the black and white variety.

A spokesman said: “This year we have upped the ante by grafting Indigo Rose to a creamy-white cherry variety to produce the first black and white tomato plant.

“We promise amazement from your friends, neighbours and family, not to mention rather groovy salads and sandwiches.”

The hybrid plant is on sale now at £4 each.
