Productive bicolor?

charline · March 6, 2018

With which variety bicolor did you have good production?
I would like to do some for sale. But not ananas = pineapple. Those are well known here.
Thanks for some suggestions

Mr. Stripey is always the top seller in my area. Always win best tasting at the farmers market that I sell at.

Oaxacan Jewel! So far, it has been my most productive variety.

GGWT for the win!

I would also say Oaxacan Jewel (PL) for season long production but the fruit are all sizes. Northern Lights is also very productive and overall, they were consistent larger fruit so great for market. I have friends who grow them to sell here (at least several years running).

I'm not sure GGWT is a bicolor. It's a striped black. A bicolor usually refers to red and yellow I think.
Little Lucky heart would fit the bill of a slightly different than usual red/yellow (different shape). Not sure how productive it is.

Gold Medal. I’ve been growing them for years with good results.
Definitely my favorite bi color and they sell well at my local farmers market.

I'd say two excellent choices, both related to each other are:

Lucky Cross
Little Lucky

Both share some Brandywine lineage

I tried Lucky Cross once and liked them but liked my Gold Medals better and they far outperformed them the same year.
Results might vary in different gardens and different years but Gold Medal has been consistently good for me in taste and production.

Ananas Noire.
It is actually Tri-color orange , yellow and green. Some call it GWR.
It produces big tomatoes, some about 20 oz. The taste and texture very good. But has short shelf life. JMO

I have to second Ananas Noire I grew it for the last 3years the only reason that I am not growing it this year, I forgot to save seeds.

Dagma’s perfection is very nice. Medium size pale yellow (clear epi) with slight pink blush.
Another nice One is serendipity, very sweet and potato leaf.
Both earlier than many of the large bicolours

I have loved both Gold Medal and German Striped, but neither has been particularly productive for me here in the Northeast. This year I'm trying a bicolor saladette, Pineapple Fog, that's supposed to be far more generous.
