100 days, dwarf โ€” 'Barossa Fest' is a rugose, potato leaf variety that produces small-medium (two to six ounce), pale yellow fruit with a bit of blossom-end blush. The fruit are smooth, globe shaped, juicy with a nice sweet flavor and tart aftertaste. This is a tall-growing dwarf with plants averaging four to six feet in height at maturity.

Introduced in 2016. Developed by members of the "Dwarf Tomato Project" this variety originated from a cross between 'Golden Dwarf Champion' and 'Green Giant.' 'Barossa Fest' was first bred by Patrina Nuske Small in 2005 and named 'Sneezy'. The Barossa Valley is one of South Australia's premier wine-growing regions where vintage festivals are celebrated each harvest season. Those who were also involved in this variety's development were Lou Larrieu, Carl Matthei, Craig LeHoullier, and Bill Minkey. Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds.

I think of this as the bright yellow equivalent of the equally delicious variety Dwarf Jade Beauty, from the same dwarf family. The spectacularly beautiful potato leaf foliaged dwarf plants produce plenty of medium sized, round, smooth gems whose flavor simply sparkles.
