★★★★★ Super sweet 😍
By Susan Sloan (Lake City FL) on June 3, 2024

Worried that I might have picked my first one too soon. Nope! Sweetest cherry tomato I have ever tasted.

★★★★★ Wow - tastes like a real tomato! Tried a lot of the dwarfs, this one is it!
By M K Fonzi (Buffalo, NY) on August 28, 2023

I grew five or six of the dwarf tomato project tomatoes this year. It was hard to pick from so many but I tried a few red or pink tomatoes from every height category. By far the Dwarf Round Robin had the best balanced flavor. A good balance of being meaty and juicy. Excellent fresh eating. Another reviewer compared it to a Cherokee Purple. Yup, that's it. Delicious. That's the one I'll keep growing.

★★★★★ My favorite!
By Liudmila (PNW) on March 3, 2023

Last year I found dwarf tomato project and bought many good varieties. Out of 30+ varieties Round Robin was one of my favorite in both categories: taste and productivity. Definitely a keeper!

★★★★★ Best greenhouse tomato we've tried!
By Robin (northern Arkansas) on October 13, 2022

The five stars is for growing Round Robin in the greenhouse all winter with amazing harvests. The plants have been healthy and prolific. The fruit tastes like a Cherokee Purple (only miniature). They're a perfect salad tomato. I tried them outside two years ago. Outside, they were very prolific on very (too) vigorous 'bushes'. However, they did not ripen evenly like in the climate controlled greenhouse. In the greenhouse, the size of the plants was limited by growing them in 3 gallon pots. They were fed regularly with a liquid organic fertilizer.

★☆☆☆☆ Disappointed
By Brenda Hansen on July 25, 2022

This year I purchased two types of Dwarf Tomato seeds. I have loved the size of the plants but I am disappointed with how this particular plant has done. It produced quite a few tomatoes but none of them have ripened. They have eventually rotted on the vine. It still has some green tomatoes. If anyone has thoughts on why this has happened I would love to hear. I still have some seeds and wouldn't mind trying again.
