Berkeley Pink Tie-Dye Tomato
Indeterminate
70 days to harvest from transplant
Solanum lycopersicum
As delectable as she is breathtaking, the shimmering silver-green stripes on Berkeley Pink Tie-Dye Tomato truly live up to her name. A large slicing tomato, we’re often surprised how early she begins to ripen her 8 to 12-ounce fruits.
At Fruition, we sow tomatoes in soil blocks indoors 2 months before final frost, early April for us here in Zone 5, germinating them on heat mats with ease. Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings.
Enjoy every moment & every bite!
Organic Berkeley Pink Tie-Dye Tomato

When to sow: 6-8 weeks before last frost
Seed Depth: 1/8 inch Days to Germination: 7-10 at 80°F (27°C)
Sowing and seedling care: Don’t start too early! Sow indoors 2 seeds/cell or soil block, & thin to 1. We recommend sowing on a heat mat at 80°F to emergence, 75°F after. Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings. Pot up to 3-4” pots when first true leaves, submerging 3/4 of the stem below soil.
When to transplant: Harden off & transplant outdoors after frost, again burying stem.
Strong 3′ trellis optional but helpful. Water soil, not leaves. Prune lowest stem “suckers” as they emerge.

Lovely and yummy tomatoes. Choose to harvest on the earlier side of ripe or they might get mushy.
