'Pink Berkeley Tie Dye' tomato was developed from an unknown cross that arose in the fields of Brad Gates who owns Wild Boar Farms in Napa Valley, California, USA. First offered in the Seed Savers Exchange 2008 Yearbook by Gary W. Maness of Greensboro, North Carolina, and Al Anderson of Troy, Ohio. Both received the seeds from Brad.
Beautiful, large (8-12oz./220-350g), port wine-colored beefsteaks with metallic green stripes and dark brownish-green shoulders are produced by compact indeterminate, regular leaf plants. The luscious fruits have a deep, sweet, earthy, and well-balanced flavor. Early to mid-early, about 65-75 days to maturity.
Beautiful 8-12 ounce beefsteak-type tomatoes with port wine skin and metallic green stripes. Their pink-red flesh can have streaks of green or yellow, and they offer a deep, very sweet, and complex flavor. The relatively compact indeterminate tomato plants are vigorous and early to bear fruit and will keep producing all season long up until frost.
The Pink Berkeley Tie Dye tomato is a related variety of the Berkeley tie-dye tomato. Its seed was selected and grown by Brad Gates, known in the California Bay Area as "the tomato guy", and was first offered in the Seed Savers 2008. Pink Berkeley Tie Dye tomatoes are well adapted to almost all climates, including the Bay Area climate. Brad has said, "Even people in Berkeley can raise it because it can handle the Bay Area fog."
