Developed by Marsha Eisenberg and Soren Linnemann as part of the Dwarf |Tomato Project, Gloria’s Treat is a stunning bicolour tomato, shaped like a blunted heart. Fruits weigh around 100-150g, and have an intense, sweet and complex flavour unnusual for a bicolour tomato. Dwarf, potato leaf growth with an open habit so will need support, but very happy in a pot as this plant only grows to around 70cm.
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
