History

• An Accidental cross, discovered by Bill Burkett of Dothan, Alabama among his Berkeley Tie-Dye, Pink tomatoes, and it could be a result of some remaining instability of Berkeley Tie-Dye, Pink. Fruits in F1 generation were smaller in size and pink without striping. Bill noted that it performed beautifully in the hot climate and was very productive.
• Bill's growouts of F2 generation gave a variety of segregations - from cherry tomatoes or various sizes and colors to medium striped slicers similar to the original Berkeley Tie-Dye, Pink, not the results he was hoping for, with an exception of 1 plant that produced the desired pink fruits without striping.
• Bill Burkett shared some F2 seeds with Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T) for trials, and unfortunately all the 4 plants in Tatiana's garden produced black/purple fruits with green stripes, as the original Berkeley Tie-Dye, Pink.
