Developed by Petrina Nuske Small as part of the Dwarf Tomato Project, Franklin County is the perfect patio plant! Compact, rugose potato leaved plants which require little to no support, produce tonnes of perfectly formed mini beefsteaks, around 50g. The perfect cherry type for a salad or sandwich, packing plenty of traditional tomato flavour. Grows to 80-100cm, high production, 75 days
Dwarf plants are a great addition to any garden, being perfect for large pots (12lt plus) and edges of beds. They possess a gene which causes their growth pattern to be condensed, meaning that the stems are sturdier, and the leaf nodes are closer together. This means that they are brilliant for growing outdoors, and can withstand wind and weather better than regular indeterminates. Also, a dwarf plant can produce as much fruit as a regular indeterminate, but in a much smaller space. Like regular sized plants, dwarfs come in determinate (bush types which set all their fruit at once) and indeterminate (vining) types.
Sow Jan-April indoors
Height Band E
10-15 open pollinated seeds
