Alice’s Dream Tomato – BC

Description

Alice’s Dream Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a striking open-pollinated variety developed by Polish breeder Zbigniew Pawluczuk around 2015. The large, beefsteak-style fruits develop a beautiful combination of golden yellow to orange coloring, red striping and distinctive indigo-purple blush on the shoulders. The fruits are meaty, juicy and flavorful, with a pleasant balance of sweetness and acidity. Plants are indeterminate, vigorous and productive, making strong support essential. Fruits can reach around 300–350 g, with some growing larger under good conditions.
