One of the most beautiful and attractive tomatoes. It is very ribbed and pleated, but otherwise very uniform, large, and perfect looking. Cream-colored speckles really make the vibrant, watermelon-pink fruit sparkle and glisten. Indeterminate plants produce a large mass of these fruit in a thick clustered area in the center of the plant. The flavor is sweet, mild, and good; flesh is firm and the seeds are very few.
Mushroom Basket Tomato. Plant Start.
Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting and side-dress with compost or additional fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season. Prune suckers (small shoots that develop between the main stem and branches) to focus the plant’s energy on fruit production. Monitor for pests like aphids and hornworms, and use organic controls if needed.
