Lycopersicon lycopersicum 'Pink Berkeley Tie Dye'

This tomato is out of this world, has just the right kick, just finished probably the best sandwich of my entire life, a huge slice of this tomato, with mayo and fresh mozzarella, YUM!!!!!!! Beautiful tomato as well, very pleased, and producing well for me.

This was my first year of growing this tomato and it was one of my favorites. Taste was superb and it had very good production. My one plant produced 29 tomatoes from 9 oz to 15 oz. The striped fruit is one of the most beautiful tomatoes I have ever seen. I had some nematode damage to the roots but not before it produced a fine crop. It will get at least 3 spots in my garden next year.

The flavor is superb, quite the pleasant surprise. The first pic I've added is a fused triple (close to 1.5 lb) and is not representive of typical size. One of my best tasting tomato varieties in '08. Plants are on the compact side, around 4 ft tall. Avg to high-avg productivity.

Brad's description/history:
"BTD pink showed up the next year as one plant that was mostly dark pink blush in the meat with some pink bleeding to the outside. The next year the dark pink(port wine color) was in most of the tomatoes and I saw no variations last year when I grew a couple hundred plants of it."
