A wonderful surprise, later in the season, this Dwarf Tomato Project creation produces gorgeous, dark slicers with a real punch of flavour. Plants grow to around 1.20m, and did well in a 15lt bucket with drainage holes. The are prolific producers, but only really got going after the worst of the midsummer heat. Fruits are juicy, with plent of gel and seeds, and excellent, rich, tangy flavour with that umami kick I love in a dark tomato. They seem to have reasonable disease resistance, and kept producing after many others had finished. A wonderful way to extend the season.
Dwarf indeterminate, regular leaf, mid-late season production.
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
10-15 open-pollinated seeds
