Rebel StarFighter VT-16

10+ Organically Grown Seeds — Rebel Starfighter VT-16

A bold and unforgettable tomato from the celebrated Rebel Starfighter series, VT-16 is a standout selection bred by Russ Crowe and cherished by collectors for its dramatic appearance and rich, complex flavor. This indeterminate, regular-leaf variety produces medium to large fruits with a striking color pattern—deep, moody red flesh crowned by dark, anthocyanin-rich shoulders that deepen with sun exposure.

The fruits are dense and meaty with relatively few seeds, making them excellent for slicing. Flavor is where Rebel Starfighter VT-16 truly shines: deep, savory, and well-balanced with subtle sweetness and that unmistakable “black tomato” richness that lingers on the palate.

Vigorous plants are productive through the season and reward growers with fruit that looks as intense as it tastes. A must-grow for fans of modern breeding, collector tomatoes, and the iconic Rebel Starfighter line.
