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.
