It has been several years since the last Berkeley Tiedye here. My recollection is that it is a beautiful tomato with above average flavor. Let us know how it tastes.

bestofour It looks like the pink version in the photos. Maybe just the lighting?
I grew Pink Berkley Tie Dye last summer...and it's funny, because it looks red in the picture (to me). It did have clear epi though, just looks red in the picture:

It tastes great. Very tomato like, if that makes sense. A little acid taste but sweet too. You definitely know you're eating a tomato. The skin is thick though which makes it hard to peel because even with my sharpest knife the juice squishes out.

I have seeds for the three of them. If you want to try any I could check and see how many seeds I have left.

I ordered everything that wild boar farms had a few years ago, they have changed what they have from then till now, and I have still not grown all of what I have so I should back off getting more till I at least try what I have now, thank you for the offer though, when I get more money I will be ordering all kinds of things that I likely don't need, but for now I am focusing on things I need to live,

Looking mighty good there Bestofour! Glad you finally got some coming in and are enjoying them! Thanks for sharing pics! And those seeds I sent are indeed the Pink Berkeley Tie-Dye version. I enjoy picking at different stages of ripeness as they seem to have very good, but different, flavor and texture at all the different stages.

timothyt Many of the pink berkley tie-dye tomatoes were cojoined tomatoes. This one was 4 inches across. very tasty. I'll definitely plant these again. I'm going to try and save seeds.
