Brad's Atomic Grape Tomato By Wild Boar Farms
Brad's Atomic Grape Tomato By Wild Boar Farms
Amazing Variety is Delicately Sweet & Tangy
A delicately sweet variety unveils elongated, multi-colored large cherries that cluster together. Initially adorned with lavender and purple stripes in their immature stage, these cherries evolve into a beautiful combination of green, red/brown, embellished with anthocyanin blue stripes upon full ripening. The interior showcases a delightful interplay of green with a blushed red when extra ripe. This amazing variety proves prolific, producing abundant fruit that holds well both on the vine and post-harvest.
Sustainably grown in 2.75" pots
Growing:
Climate:
Thriving in warm climates, this variety demands ample sunlight—ideally 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily—for robust growth and fruit development.

Atomic Grape Tomatoes thrive in well-drained, fertile soil. Improve the soil quality by incorporating organic matter like compost. Aim for a slightly acidic to neutral pH level (5.6-7.0) for optimal growth.

Harvest Time:
Ripe clusters display their characteristic mix of colors and a slightly soft texture. Harvest carefully to avoid damaging the plant.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil and Water: Tomatoes love fertile soil rich in organic matter. Add plenty of compost prior to planting. Soil pH is preferred between 5.6-7.0. Mulch to preserve moisture. Avoid wetting the foliage when watering.
Planting and Growing: Provide ample spacing between plants, typically 18-24 inches, to facilitate proper air circulation and accommodate the potential for vigorous growth. Due to the potential for sprawling growth, offer support to Tomato plants early in the season. Staking or caging helps maintain an upright structure. Regular pruning can manage size and stimulate fruit production.
Harvesting and Storage: Harvest when fruits give slightly under finger pressure; the shoulders may not have changed color yet.
