70 days, dwarf — 'Boronia' is a rugose, regular leaf, dwarf variety that typically reaches three to four feet in height in a typical growing season. It produces medium to medium large (four to sixteen ounce), oblate shaped fruit that are pink in color with dark shoulders and have a smooth, meaty texture. It resembles 'Cherokee Purple' fruit both in its appearance as well as in its delicious, intense flavor quality.
Developed by members of the "Dwarf Tomato Project" from a cross between 'New Big Dwarf' and 'Paul Robeson', 'Boronia' is the collaborative work of Patrina Nuske Small (who named it after a native Australian fragrant flower, Boronia megastigma), Gina McDermott, Tanya Kucak, David Lockwood, Craig LeHoullier, Sherry Shiesl, Carol Knapp, Michael Volk and Bill Minkey. Introduced in 2014. Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds.
In an effort to keep this variety available to home gardeners, 'Boronia' has been released by "The Dwarf Tomato Project" (the breeder) to the public under the Open Source Seed Initiative (OSSI). You have the freedom to use these OSSI-Pledged seeds in any way you choose. In return, if you save seeds or use 'Boronia' to breed a new variety, you pledge not to restrict others' use of these seeds or their derivatives by patents or other means, and to include this pledge with any transfer of these seeds or their derivatives.
