Quick Summary of Berkeley Tie-Dye Green
- 🌍 Origin & Lineage: A breathtaking green variation bred by the legendary Brad Gates (Wild Boar Farms) in California. It is a standout member of his iconic Tie-Dye family, which also includes the original Berkeley Tie-Dye, the highly popular Pink Berkeley Tie-Dye, and the beautiful Berkeley Tie-Dye Heart.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate, mid-season. A highly vigorous plant with a thick, sturdy central stem and dense, regular leaf foliage. Can easily reach 6 ft (1.8 m) and responds very well to being pruned to 2 stems.
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Large, round beefsteaks, often ribbed at the shoulders, typically weighing 7 to 10.5 oz (200-300 g). The exterior is a stunning mix of green, yellow, and muted red stripes. Inside, the creamy flesh is also tri-color, showcasing a beautiful marbled blend of green, yellow, and red.
- 👅 Flavor Profile: Very complex and sophisticated. The tri-color flesh brings a perfectly balanced mix of sweetness, a distinct spicy kick, and a refreshing hint of acidity. It is widely considered a top-tier slicer for sandwiches.
- 📈 Yield & Care: Unpretentious and highly productive. It produces heavily over a long extended fruiting period.
BERKELEY TIE DYE GREEN
Another highly worthy representative of the Berkeley Tie Dye family, gifted to us by Brad Gates. A green variation of the famous Berkeley Tie Dye. A vigorous indeterminate plant with a thick stem and dense foliage, 6 ft (1.80 meters) tall. Regular leaf. I pruned it to 2 stems. The variety is mid-season, with a long fruiting period. Large round fruits, ribbed at the stem, weighing 7-10.5 oz (200-300 grams). The fruits are green with stripes of yellow and muted red. The creamy flesh is also tri-color, showcasing all three colors—green, yellow, and red—each of which contributes its own aroma and adds sophistication to the taste. It is simultaneously sweet and spicy with a hint of slight acidity—a magnificent balance, a perfect flavor! Excellent yield and an unpretentious nature regarding growing conditions make this variety a favorite. Ideal for sandwiches and salads.
Yulia @Tiffany, if you planted the dwarf Uluru Ochre, is this tomato similar to it in taste? We are looking for something similar, but not a dwarf. By its looks, it seemed quite similar to me.

@Olya Pskovishna Uluru Ochre and Berkeley Tie Dye Green are completely different in taste.
I totally believe you about the taste; for me, tomatoes that are green with stripes of yellow and muted red are usually incredibly sweet and delicious.
