The Brad's Atomic tomato is a recent but already iconic creation, carefully selected by Brad Gates in the United States and marketed since 2016. It is distinguished by its indeterminate growth habit, its light and airy foliage, and above all by its amazing fruits that look hand-painted.

Each cluster offers a vibrant kaleidoscope of shifting hues: lavender, green, purple, reddish-brown, and even hints of orange. Its elongated, slightly pointed shape is more reminiscent of a small plum than a cherry. This variety exemplifies the dynamism of artisanal selections and the inventiveness of gardens in motion. Resistant to extreme conditions and cracking, it fits perfectly into a collaborative and resilient gardening approach.

  • Growing climate: Warm season
  • Sowing difficulty level: Medium
  • Care required: Regular

Annotation: Classic field or greenhouse tomato cultivation in Quebec, requiring heat, sun and staking.

Sweet, juicy, and bountiful, Brad's Atomic is a cocktail tomato that's delicious eaten raw, roasted, or candied. Its intense flavor makes it a favorite for colorful appetizers, summer salads, or artistic platters. Its firm flesh and long shelf life make it an ideal variety for extended harvests and gourmet gift baskets.

In the kitchen, it catches the eye even before it delights the palate — a delightful tomato that combines beauty, complexity and flavor in every bite.
