Scientific name:<\/strong> Solanum lycopersicum<\/em>
Type:<\/strong> Mid-season hybrid, indeterminate growth
Development:<\/strong> Exclusive variety developed by Semence Canada<\/strong>, from a cross between Brad\u2019s Atomic Grape<\/em> and Lucky Tiger<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\u2728 Overview<\/h2>\n

The Atomic Watermelon Tomato<\/strong> is a striking modern creation born from artisanal hybridization. Its evocative name perfectly reflects its spectacular appearance: an elongated tomato streaked with neon green, raspberry red, and deep purple\u2014resembling the rind of a miniature watermelon on acid. Its juicy flesh, both sweet and tangy, delivers a vibrant, fruity, and aromatic flavor, making it an exceptional tasting tomato.<\/p>\n

Compact, productive, and resilient to climatic stress, it was designed to thrive in Quebec and Canadian gardens<\/strong> while delighting all the senses.<\/p>\n

\n

\ud83e\uddec Variety History<\/h2>\n

The result of an in-house cross at Semence Canada, this tomato combines the intense aromatic profile and explosive coloration of the famous Brad\u2019s Atomic Grape<\/em> with the firm texture and sweet\u2013tangy balance of Lucky Tiger<\/em>. The goal: to create a variety that is more stable, more resilient, and even more visually striking.<\/p>\n

After several generations of selection, the Atomic Watermelon Tomato<\/strong> now produces uniform fruits that are both delicious and ultra-decorative. This variety embodies the spirit of Quebec\u2019s agricultural renewal: local, inventive, and flavorful<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
