Berkeley Pink Tie Dye Tomato
Solanum lycopersicum
Certified Organic
The ideal tomato sandwich tomato! In our 2022 farm trials, this beefsteak was the hands-down favorite. The flavor is deliciously complex: rich, tangy, with a savory umami base, and the texture is both meaty and juicy. The indeterminate plants produce elegant wine-red fruits with metallic green stripes. First bred by Wild Boar Farms in Citrus Heights, CA, pair this one with Berkeley Green Tie Dye Tomato for a wildly colorful tomato combo.

Growing instructions
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost, then transplant outdoors to indicated spacing after all threat of frost has passed. All tomatoes benefit from staking; indeterminate varieties require it. Prune tomatoes when they reach about 24" high and are starting to produce small suckers. Keep plants from coming into contact with the soil, and water at the roots as often as possible to prevent the spread of soil borne disease. When fruit begin to become fully ripe, harvest every couple of days for the highest quality fruit. At the end of the season, harvest any fruits that have begun to take on color to ripen indoors.
