Dwarf Orange Cream Tomato
Price: $4.45
SKU: 3403481This "Dwarf Tomato Project" variety originated as a cross between 'Golden Dwarf Champion' and 'Elbe' made by Patrina Nuske Small in 2006 and named "Tipsy." 'Dwarf Orange Cream' was selected and named by Craig LeHoullier. As with most in the "Tipsy family," the flavor is superb - intense, rich, and with a lively tang. Involved in its development were Patrina, Craig, Susan Oliverson, Lisa Moore, Dee Sackett and Bill Minkey.
Introduced for the 2016 gardening season.
Fruit Color: Yellow
Special Groups: Container Friendly
Special Groups: Dwarf Tomato Project
Harvest Timing: Main Crop / Mid-Season
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.

I am buying another packet of seeds because I will always grow this tomato in my garden. It's sweet, juicy slightly floral flavor is delightful. I only grew one plant. It wasn't very prolific, but it's hot here so that is a given.
I didn't have any trouble germinating them. Great tomato!

I planted 12 seeds and not a single one germinated. I have them on a heat mat and good lights and nothing. It's been 4 weeks and now it's a bit too late to try again for my area. Very disappointed as I have another variety that i bought from this seller that didn't germinate as well. 1 out of the 3 varieties that I bought from here sprouted and that's it.

I had a hard time with these this year. My container balcony garden did better with a few other varieties something about the conditions just werent good enough for this guy!! I did get one beautiful right orange and delicious fruit, but lost a few to blossom end rot, I think mostly just due to unideal weather during its prime production time, and a few more later in the season that just couldnt ripen fast enough before the cold came on. Ill try again the one I got was worth the struggle! :) So it goes!

I've grown this dwarf for the last two years and I love it! It's a large, flavorful, beautiful tomato that is early enough to produce a good crop in the Pacific Northwest. Great as a slicer and makes a great sauce.
