Wild Fred Dwarf Tomato Seeds – 10+ Florida Grown Seeds
Meet Wild Fred—the purple powerhouse with a wild name and a surprisingly refined flavor. This beloved dwarf variety turns heads with its deep dusky-purple skin and beefsteak-style fruits that can weigh up to 8 ounces. The taste is rich, bold, and slightly smoky, with just enough sweetness to keep you coming back for more.
Despite the “wild” name, Fred is well-behaved in the garden. He grows to a compact 3–4 feet tall, making him a great fit for containers, raised beds, or anywhere space is limited but flavor is non-negotiable. A classic pick from the Dwarf Tomato Project, Wild Fred brings heirloom taste to manageable spaces—no taming required.
