Overview
Tye-Dye is a mid-season heirloom with fruit that looks painted: smooth 3-inch, 7 oz tomatoes blend yellow, orange and red on the outside, while the flesh is marbled with yellow-orange and red streaks. Indeterminate plants grow taller than 24 inches and want a stake or cage. It carries resistance to Verticillium race 1, Fusarium race 1, Alternaria stem canker, and gray leaf spot, which is unusual for an heirloom. A showy slicer for anyone who likes bicolor tomatoes on the plate.
