80 days, dwarf — The rugose, regular leaf plants of 'Dwarf Snakebite' grow from three to four feet tall and produce four to sixteen ounce, pink colored, oblate shaped fruit that are tasty, tangy and tart. A very nice slicing tomato.
The "Dwarf Tomato Project's" "Grizzly" family was created by Patrina Nuske Small by crossing the old, historic dwarf variety 'New Big Dwarf' with indeterminate tomato 'Grozny '91'. From this family, 'Dwarf Snakebite' was selected and named by Amanda Fischer. Along with Patrina and Amanda, others involved with creating this variety were Craig LeHoullier, Michael Volk, Sherry Long, Damon Huck, Shawn Conant, Bill Minkey, Mike Dunton, and John Dunton. Each packet contains at least 20 seeds.

Grew Snakebite last year for the first time and I was really impressed. The season in general in 2024 was awful for me with early blight and insects galore. Snakebite was a robust 4' rugosa plant that kept producing as long as our season allowed. Unfortunately it was cut about 4 weeks short but I still received 22 tomatoes that were in the 12-14 oz size and one of the most delicious tomatoes I've tasted. It's moved to my top 5 favorites.

I'll be growing this one every year from now on. Excellent production and flavor that will knock your socks off. Beautiful red tomato with strong production too. And most importantly of all, it's delicious! My favorite dwarf this year, and I grew 21 different kinds. Full old fashioned tomato flavor, tangy and sweet at the same time.

I grew two Dwarf Snakebite tomato plants for the first time in an Earthbox container. I prefer tomatoes with a full acidic tangy flavor. These tomatoes hit a homerun for me. They were very flavorful, tangy and firm without being too watery. My favorite , along with Dwarf Purple Heart, of the Dwarf Tomato Project varieties I've grown so far.
