Late-season, dwarf — 'Dwarf CC McGee' has rugose, potato leaf plants that produce good yields of medium-sized, four to eight ounce, ivory colored, oblate shaped tomatoes with elements of both sweet and tart in a full, delicious flavor.
The "Harmony" family originated from a cross made by Patrina Nuske Small between two of the Dwarf Tomato Project releases, 'Dwarf Blazing Beauty' and 'Dwarf Sweet Sue'. 'Dwarf CC McGee' was selected by Susan Oliverson, who named after her paternal grandfather, Claude Clifford McGee.
Others involved in the development of this variety included Craig LeHoullier, Dee Sackett, Lee Newman, and Bill Minkey producing the seed for the introduction. Each packet contains at least 20 seeds.
I finally got around to trying Dwarf CC McGee a few years ago, and I am so glad I did. Indeterminate white fruited tomatoes tend toward blandness. Those we've produced in our dwarf project are simply delicious. This differs in Dwarf Mr. Snow (also superb) in being a bit larger, less oblate, and less aggressively tart. This is really well balanced - tasted blindfolded, no one could guess that the color approaches white!
