70 days, dwarf — 'Chocolate Champion' is a rugose, regular leaf dwarf type plant that produces lots of small to medium (two to six ounce), oblate fruit that are red with chocolate-brown shoulders. The flavor is nicely balanced and very tasty. Both appearance and flavor resemble 'Cherokee Chocolate'.
Developed by members of the "Dwarf Tomato Project" from a cross between 'Golden Dwarf Champion' and 'Cherokee Chocolate'. 'Chocolate Champion' is the result of the collaborative work of Patrina Nuske Small, Ray South (who named it), David Lockwood, Denise Bath, Bill Yoder, Mark Gladney, Ruth TenBrink, Craig LeHoullier and Bill Minkey. It was introduced in 2014. Each packet contains 20 seeds.

This is one of my favourites from the Dwarf Tomato Project. A very tasty medium slicer, and prolific! I have never encountered any problems with disease, and in our short growing season, they are ready to enjoy well before any worries of frost.

It may look like Cherokee Chocolate, but is a bit more mild in flavor, and a bit more tart - so it is just a different personality in an attractive, good sized slicing tomato.

I love Cherokee Chocolate. Its one of my favorite annual re-grows. I was hoping for a mini version to grow indoors under lights. Nope. It lacks CCs depth of flavor. *Note was grown indoors only.
