Bred by the "Dwarf Tomato Project," Craig LeHoullier selected 'Dwarf Black Angus' from the "Cheerful" family and named it in honor of his father-in-law, Harry Angus. Those responsible for additional selection and stabilization work are Denise Salmon, Dee Sackett, Robin Bort, Susan Oliverson, and Bob Franklin.

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.

★★★★★ Great dwarf tomato

One of the best dwarf tomatoes I've grown over the years. Healthy plants produced very well for me. I grew them in in 7 gallon pots on my porch, and got many dark round mid-season fruits. Deep rich flavor was fantastic! Great every year I've grown.
