This is a top notch indeterminate dwarf. Grown with multiple leaders, it just keeps on giving these gorgeous big, dark, stripey beefsteaks with more or less anthocyanin depending on sun exposure. Full flavoured and well rounded, full of dark and smokey oomph. I love these maybe more than Prime. Mid-size for a beefsteak at 80-250g, so a great slicer as well as for cooking. Mid-season, regular leaf, indeterminate dwarf growing to around 120cm.
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
