🍅 Primary Strawberry Color Tomato
Scientific name: Solanum lycopersicum
An original cross developed by Semence Canada, combining the ancestral yellow-with-black striping of Primary Color Tomato (a creation by Tom Wagner) with the bright pink hue, exceptional shelf life, and sweet-acid balance of Black Strawberry Cherry.
The result is a medium-sized tomato, pink and striped with dark undertones, bursting with fruity aroma—equally suited for fresh salads and artisanal processing.
