Tim's Taste of Paradise Tomato By Wild Boar Farms
Tim's Taste of Paradise Tomato By Wild Boar Farms
Preferred to Sungold Hands Down
Originating as the experimental variety "Fruity Mix," developed by plant breeder Tim Peters in the late 1990s, it faced near extinction when his business closed in the early 2000s. The fruit exhibits a unique sweet and intensely fruity flavor with elusive umami notes. It was rediscovered in 2018 by tomato aficionado Tien Chiu, a result of crossing wild species with domestic tomatoes. This variety, now propagated by Wild Boar Farms, is a must for home growers, showcasing excellent vigor and productivity. The only challenge is resisting the temptation to keep these irresistible tomatoes outdoors!
Sustainably grown in 2.75" pots
Growing:
Soil Preparation:
Tim's Taste of Paradise Tomatoes thrive in well-drained, fertile soil. Enhance the soil by incorporating organic matter such as compost. Aim for a slightly acidic to neutral pH level (5.6-7.0) for an ideal growing environment.
Spacing:
Provide sufficient spacing between plants, typically 18-24 inches, to allow for proper air circulation and support healthy growth.

Given the potential for vigorous growth, offer support to the plants early in the growing season. Staking or caging helps prevent sprawling, and regular pruning can manage plant size and stimulate optimal fruit production.

Days to Maturity:
