Berkley Tie-Dye (Green) vs PBTD

mobiledynamics · April 11, 2018

Can anyone shed some insight as I decide what actually get's planted...

From my understanding, PBTD is considered compact ?
Large Barred fruits earlier and similar to PBTD but even smaller ?

I also have some Green Tie-Dyed. Most sites label it as GBTD
On Boars site direct, they list is or renamed it as Berkley Tie Dyed

Anyone have some insight or can shed some . Thx

Wildboar farms is definitely the home of Tie Dyed "PBTD" and "BTD" which some sites may call Green BTD to differentiate the two.

Here's the "green", which is the original Berkeley tie dye before someone found a pink. WBF's doesn't list it's plant growth so I would assume full size plant:

Here's the pink listed as "compact indeterminate":

in old readings on the ville, readers sugger large barred fruits earlier and is even smaller in growth than PBTD.
The tomato itself is very similar to PBTD

I'm leaning on the Green and Pink and skipping planting the large barred, assuming former posts are accurate the Large Barred is PBTD - just fruits earlier and is a smaller plant.

They were quite dissimilar for me, the pink being a larger plant, more productive, more oblate fruit and it is a clear vs yellow epidermis that gives the different colour.
Best information is clearly from The breeder himself on his web page.

Interesting the nonpink is described as acid but not the pink. I find the pink to already be really acidic especially in colder weather. A classic and probably Boar Farms' most known variety (also being one of the first). Never tried the other one but it does look great. The pink is somewhat compact I guess compared to others but not a lot.

I grew the green BTD. The taste was very strong, almost too strong, but very good, and yes, acid. We grew it dry farmed, which probably made the taste stronger. It's beautiful, green & yellow & red striped. It was ripe when the red was fully red. We grew it in too much shade, in about 8" of soil over solid bedrock, and under such conditions it was a smallish plant that yielded 11 tomatoes.

Lucid Gem, PBTD, BTD. Solar Flare, Pineapple Pig, Pork Chop, Barry's Crazy Cherry, Brad's Atomic Grape...
They are all exceptional tomatoes...
Wild Boar produces, new... Really good tomatoes.
