Dwarf Flashy Ace Tomato

Solanum lycopersicum

Price: $4.45

SKU: 34031471

70 days, dwarf - The rugose, regular leaves of 'Dwarf Flashy Ace' are variegated on plants that are compact (3 to 4 feet in height) and very productive. Its fruit are pink in color, globe to oblate shaped, borne in clusters of 6 to 8, and easily slip from the plants when ripe. They are tasty, juicy and mildly sweet.

Craig LeHoullier crossed 'Variegated' with 'Dwarf Mr. Snow' and called the cross "Acey." Dee Sackett selected and named 'Dwarf Flashy Ace', and additional work was done by Susan Oliverson and Bill Minkey.

It was released by the Victory Seed Company to the gardening public for the 2024 season.

Brand new limited release for 2024.

Special Groups: Dwarf Tomato Project
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.

★★★☆☆ Okay but not my favorite taste
By Doug (Northern Colorado) on August 23, 2024

I've grown tomatoes for years but this is first experience with dwarf cultivars. I tried 4 varieties and initially concerned about this one because it had strongly variegated leaves as a seedling however plants were strong and the leaves turned 100% green after transplant. Plants are producing plenty of moderate sized fruit but we find the flavor of the somewhat pinkish fruit on the bland side. Not supermarket bland, just not the aroma and slight tang I love about homegrown tomatoes. Plants are about 4 ft and trained up a sturdy twine. Wasn't sure that pruning for height and little side development would be right for a dwarf so pretty much left it alone which turned out well but I may widen the row spacing a bit next year (won't grow this one again but all the dwarfs I selected had similar growth pattern except maybe the romas.
