Spanish Dancer (NOT) is a variety with a “zebra-like” skin pattern derived from the Meraki Seeds commercial line, in which the variant with round fruits is designated “NOT” (rather than the elongated, “basket-shaped” fruits found elsewhere). The plant is tall (indeterminate), with regular foliage; it grows vigorously and responds well to training on 1–2 shoots with mandatory staking. It begins bearing fruit approximately 70–75 days after transplanting the seedlings, producing fruit consistently until fall.
The fruits are small, round, and very uniform in size—typically 25–50 g—with a strikingly decorative, two-tone skin: a red background with golden-yellow stripes reminiscent of the “
Red Zebra” variety in its “cherry/salad” form. The flesh is firm and juicy, and the flavor is sweet with a delicate hint of tartness, making it exceptionally pleasant to eat fresh. This variety works great in salads, bruschetta, colorful platters, and whole-fruit preserves; thanks to its uniform size, it looks beautiful in jars and at market stalls.
What sets “
Spanish Dancer (NOT)” apart is its combination of early maturity, consistent yield, and a striking “zebra-striped” pattern in a small format. This variety is ideal for gardeners who prefer tall, easy-to-grow plants and are looking for dessert-style, sweet tomatoes with a strong visual appeal—both for daily harvesting and to diversify their market offerings.
