Special Groups: Dwarf Tomato Project
Harvest Timing: Late 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.

This tomato is gorgeous, prolific and delicious. Though I was involved in its development, it has been years since I grew it (and the first time growing the released version). The light and dark green striped tomatoes, with shades of pink, have full flavor. I loved it!

I had heard good things about this tomato, but it even exceeded those expectations for me. To start, it is an oblate, medium-sized (for me, it averaged around 8 ounces), green-when-ripe tomato with stripes and a faint pink marbling on the blossom end and interior - it is truly a sight to behold. The flavor is intense and it has a pleasingly noticeable acidic tang (but not sour, by any stretch of the imagination). It is also moderately juicy. The plant was very productive and didn't succumb to the 2020 extended heatwave. This variety is truly a keeper and will go into my permanent rotation, which is likely the highest praise I can give.
