Beefsteak tomato 'Adelaide Festival'
- Product number: 294946
- Origin: Central America
- Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum
Adelaide Festival originated from a cross between Pink Berkeley Tie Dye and Rosella Purple created by Patrina Nuske Small in 2009. Adelaide Festival was selected from the F1 by Patrina and named after the fireworks display celebrating the Adelaide Festival of Arts in her hometown. It is a mid-early variety, producing rich reddish-purple tomatoes with green vertical stripes that ripen to olive gold. The fruits are medium-sized, flattened, weighing 180-300g, very juicy and tender with a delicious, well-balanced flavor. Plants have sturdy stems, robust, rugose foliage and grow to about one meter tall, requiring support due to the weight of the tomatoes.
This group of tomatoes is sized between cherry tomatoes and beefsteak tomatoes: medium-sized, in other words. Each has its own unique character. The climbing varieties ripen somewhat later than the compact varieties and are therefore more successful under rain protection: a lean-to, greenhouse, or growing tunnel.
