Delightful pink tomato with golden stripes - perfect for snacking, salads, and lunchboxes! Plants yield bountiful trusses of flavorful fruit that ripen very early. This is a major improvement over Pink Tiger - Jada will not disappoint!

We are excited to announce that Jada is our FIRST release from Erica's tomato breeding program - a Nature & Nurture Seeds original! Erica collaborated with the midwest plant breeding network

funded by an OREI grant including Julie Dawson's Seed to Kitchen Collaborative at UW Madison, Organic Seed Alliance, SeedLinked, KC Tomatoes, and eOrganic. 

The goal of the cross was to breed OP (non-hybrid), open source (non-patented), saladette/cherry tomatoes that are adapted to midwest growing conditions, are vigorous, and have good flavor. Erica was looking for striped fruit in particular.

To create Jada, Erica crossed Juliet X Blush tomato varieties. The F3 seeds were sent out to growers throughout the upper midwest who were participants with the Seed to Kitchen Collaborative. Greg Reynolds of Delano, MN, grew the F3 seeds and, from those diverse plants, selected the plant that would eventually be known as Jada. After several years of growing, evaluating, and refining, Jada came out as a promising variety in the project. Jada was originally labeled TMX-JxB-0024 - read more about it on the SeedLinked Platform.

Jada pairs well with Blush and Green Tiger - which are similar in size, shape, and deliciousness. Note that Jada may lose striping if fruit is shaded out by foliage. Sales from this variety go to support Erica’s tomato breeding program. 

61 days to maturity.
