One of the cross-pollination lines between VT-16 Brown and Dwarf DSA, bred by Tatyana Nagle, Latvia. Plants are compact dwarfs, around 1m tall and produce big, heartshaped, sometimes lighty fluted burgundy fruit with anthocyanin shoulders. These are delicious eaten fresh, and they make an outstanding sauce too.
Dwarf indeterminate, rugose regular leaf, mid season
This variety is still in the late stages of stabilisation so could still through segregates.
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
