A creation from Tatjana Nagle, part of her Leprechaun series. Zhenya is a dwarf indeterminate, with regular leaves, which grows to around 1m20. It produces an abundance of these long, finger-like striped tomatoes with firm, juicy flesh and a satisfying bite. Flavour is very good, being more on the savoury, tangy side.
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
