Description
“Delightful pink tomato with golden stripes – perfect for snacking, salads, and lunchboxes! Plants yield bountiful trusses of flavorful fruit that ripen very early. This is a major improvement over Pink Tiger – Jada will not disappoint! We are excited to announce that Jada is our FIRST release from Erica’s tomato breeding program – a Nature & Nurture Seeds original! Erica collaborated with the midwest plant breeding network funded by an OREI grant including Julie Dawson’s Seed to Kitchen Collaborative at UW Madison, Organic Seed Alliance, SeedLinked, KC Tomatoes, and eOrganic. The goal of the cross was to breed OP (non-hybrid), open source (non-patented), saladette/cherry tomatoes that are adapted to midwest growing conditions, are vigorous, and have good flavor. Erica was looking for striped fruit in particular.”
