‘Rebel Starfighter: Dippers Delight’ tomato, with its captivating appearance, boasts one of the most unexpected name stories in the Rebel Starfighter family. It was brought to life by Russ Crowe* in Northern Vermont, USA, through a cross between ‘Rebel Starfighter Prime’ and ‘King Aramis.’ The name for this unique variety was inspired by Russ’s daughter, Kayleigh, who named it after her beloved and unusually friendly pet, Dipper. Kayleigh has been raising spiders for five years and has a rather extensive collection of them, including tarantulas and jumping spiders. She names all her pets after constellations. Among her arachnid companions, there was one exceptionally friendly jumping spider that she called “Dippers.” It captured the essence of her friendly pet and bore a resemblance to the name of a starship, adding an extra layer of charm to the tomato’s story.
This tomato exhibits a rich, well-balanced, and fruity taste that makes them an excellent choice for sandwiches or flavorful passata.
