SKU: 340427170 days, dwarf - 'Dwarf Bendigo Rose' has rugose, regular-leaf plants that produce lots of globe to slightly plum shaped, pink colored, large cherry-type tomatoes that average about one to two ounces each and are very tasty. Excellent in salads and for snacking.
'Dwarf Bendigo Rose' is the result of a selection made from the "Snowy family" by Gregg Muller, who also named it. He and Susan Oliverson carried out the majority of the subsequent stabilization work, aided by Craig LeHoullier. Bill Minkey produced the release quantity of seed, which was introduced in 2018.

Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.
Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.

All good! Good flavor and prolific. Large cherry tomato size. I'm gonna grow this instead of husky tomatoes next year because it was more consistent for me.

I have grown this Tom for 2 years now and I love it. It not only produces a ton of perfectly sized large chrrry type fruit in the garden but also produces great potted in my greenhouse in winter. Super sweet, perfectly firm but not hard. Its flavor is amazing but not overpowering. Perfect little tomato.
