Origin & Breeding History: 'Inspired' (experimental designation DRTH5013) originated from a hand pollinated cross conducted in 2015 at the Seminis breeding station located in Bergschenhoek, Netherlands. The cross was made between proprietary Seminis breeding lines 'FIR-XM16-4401', as the female parent, and 'FIR-XM17-4455', as the male parent. From the resulting progeny, the hybrid tomato variety 'Inspired' was selected in 2017 for its fruit yield, quality, uniformity, skin colour and flavour.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Inspired' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number TMT3546, purchased from the Naktuinbouw in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands. The trial was conducted by the Naktuinbouw in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands in 2020.
