352. LUSH QUEEN
The Lush Queen tomato is a visually striking variety developed by Brad Gates of Wild Boar Farms in California. This indeterminate plant yields medium to large beefsteak-type fruits, typically weighing between 6 to 12 ounces (approximately 170 to 340 grams). The tomatoes exhibit a vibrant pink hue adorned with green and gold stripes, making them one of the few pink-striped varieties available. The flesh is dense, meaty, and juicy, offering a sweet, fruity flavor with a mild acidity. ‘Lush Queen’ demonstrates good production and heat tolerance; however, it may be slightly prone to cracking in wet conditions. Its unique appearance and delightful taste make it a popular choice for fresh consumption, particularly in salads and sandwiches, and it is known to attract attention at farmers’ markets.
