What makes it special?
Atomic Fusion is a modern tomato breed by Brad Gates from the Brad's Atomic Grape line. It produces larger, elongated to plum-shaped fruit with a shifting play of green, red, brown, orange and dark anthocyanin tones.
The variety grows indeterminate and ripens mid-season. Its well-balanced, sweet-fruity aroma and firm structure make it a versatile salad and snacking tomato. We raise our open-pollinated young plants ourselves in Illmitz.
Flavour & Use
Atomic Fusion is grown above all for its combination of striking looks and well-balanced flavour. Fully ripe, the fruit is sweet, juicy and aromatic, without being reduced to sweetness alone.
Its size between a large cocktail and small salad tomato suits slicing, salads, a light lunch, sandwiches and cold platters well. The firm fruit can also be briefly grilled or oven-roasted.
Fruit & Plant
Atomic Fusion is an indeterminate cordon tomato with normal foliage. It usually grows around 150–200 cm tall and produces continuous new trusses through to the end of the season.
The elongated to round-plum-shaped fruit weighs around 50–100 g. Its colour changes considerably during ripening: greenish and dark shoulders are joined by red, orange and brown stripes. The variety ripens medium, around 75–85 days after planting out.
Growing & Care
A full-sun spot encourages colour and aroma. The plant needs a sturdy support and can be trained with one or two shoots. Prune excess side shoots regularly.
In a pot, we recommend at least around 20 litres, ideally 25 litres of volume. The substrate should be nutrient-rich and well-draining.
Water evenly, close to the soil, and avoid waterlogging. Regular feeding during flowering and fruiting supports the continued fruit set. Rain protection improves leaf health in wet summers.

Atomic Fusion – a multicoloured striped tomato rarity
Atomic Fusion is a multicoloured striped tomato from Brad Gates' breeding. The variety came about as a larger-fruited selection from the Brad's Atomic Grape line. We raise our open-pollinated young plants ourselves in Illmitz.
What do Atomic Fusion tomatoes look like?
The fruit is elongated to round-plum-shaped and shows green, red, orange, brown and dark anthocyanin tones depending on ripening stage. Sun exposure and ripeness influence the pattern, so it varies from fruit to fruit.
Flavour and use
Fully ripe Atomic Fusion tomatoes taste sweet-fruity and well-balanced. At around 50–100 g, they sit between a large cocktail and small salad tomato. Fresh, they suit salads, sandwiches and cold platters, but can also be grilled or oven-roasted.
Growth habit and ripening time
Atomic Fusion grows indeterminate and fruits over a longer period. The variety ripens roughly mid-season. A sturdy support is necessary, since the plant keeps growing taller through summer and forms new trusses.
Growing Atomic Fusion correctly
Choose a sunny, warm and, where possible, sheltered spot. With one- or two-shoot training, side shoots are pruned regularly. An airy structure and watering close to the soil help keep the foliage dry.
Atomic Fusion in a pot
For pot growing, we recommend at least 20 litres, ideally around 25 litres of volume. A large pot stabilises water and nutrient supply. The plant is tied in continuously to a tomato stake or string.

Absolutely recommended! I’m completely impressed with this chili plant seller. The quality of the plants is outstanding – strong, healthy, and clearly grown with passion and expertise.
The absolute highlight for me, however, was that this seller is one of the few places that offers my all-time favorite variety, the Lemon Drop chili. I’ve finally found a reliable source for this fantastic variety!
Shipping was fast, and the plants were perfectly packaged, so they arrived in excellent condition. I can wholeheartedly recommend this seller to any chili lover looking for top quality and fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering here again!

I’ve been buying my chili powder from the Tschida family for years, and it’s the best you can get. The family is always very friendly and helpful as well. I can wholeheartedly recommend their products to everyone.

#1 Spice supplier
Super friendly service when buying chili plants, and the products are truly excellent. My #1 source for heat :) The ultimate compliment came from an Indian colleague who said that with Tschida chili sauces, he can finally enjoy the level of heat he knows from home here in Europe!

Simply top!
Tschida Tschili – where heat and flavor come together in perfect harmony. The chili products are simply outstanding. I love spicy food, but many products just burn your tongue without delivering any real flavor. With Tschida Tschili, it’s completely different. For an experienced palate, everything is very enjoyable. The flavors are perfectly matched to the level of heat, resulting in truly delicious products.
I visit the farm from time to time as part of my culinary tours with groups. What can I say? Jan and his family are simply the perfect hosts – friendly, authentic, and genuinely local. I always really enjoy visiting you!
