80 days, dwarf — The rugose, potato leaf plants of 'Dwarf Big Valentine' produce high yields of medium to very large (eight to fourteen ounces but can get up to the twenty to twenty-four ounce range), smooth, heart shaped, crimson pink tomatoes. The meaty tomatoes possess a well-balanced, slightly tart but sweet, delicious flavor. The plants average thirty-six inches in height, and, due to the high yield and weight of the tomatoes, require sturdy support.
The Dwarf Tomato Project's "Ivalde" family originated from a cross made by Soren Linnemann between the indeterminate variety 'Vjerino Paradajiz Sjeme' and 'Wherokowhai'. Craig LeHoullier selected and named 'Dwarf Big Valentine', with Linda Black as the key contributor, along with Bill Minkey, C. Jason Liang, Mike Dunton and John Dunton. It was introduced by the Victory Seed Company in 2022. Each packet contains at least 20 seeds.

This variety comes from the wonderful Ivalde family, where everything that emerges is a winner. Combining wonderful flavor, size, productivity, heart shaped fruit and a glowing pink color - and potato leaf foliage on a vigorous dwarf growing plant - this variety has it all. You won't believe the size of tomato that can emerge from a compact growing plant.
