This is one of the earliest medium-sized tomatoes I have ever grown and also one of the most productive. The pink\/green-striped, dark fruit will be popular with growers who love the rich flavor of the \u201cpurple\u201d tomatoes and those who want a mild \u201ctang\u201d finish to their tomato. Dusky Maiden is a selection from a 2013 cross of Black Sea Man x Pink Berkely Tie-Dye, made by TimothyT in NC. The &#8220;Dusky Maiden&#8221; name was chosen by Geoff in Melbourne. Both Timothy and Geoff, along with feedback from expert\u00a0 growing partners worldwide, progressed the original selection to it&#8217;s current, stable, F9 filial generation. Highly recommended, especially for growers with short growing seasons and discriminating palates!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15689,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[31,13,11,14,114],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-15688","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-beefsteak","product_cat-heritage-tomato-seed","product_cat-purple-tomatoes","product_cat-striped","product_cat-timothyt-originations","first","outofstock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/15688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=15688"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=15688"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=15688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
