80 days, dwarf — The rugose, potato leaf plants of 'Dwarf Stony Brook Speckled' are quite compact, reaching thirty-six to forty-eight inches tall, and are very productive. The elongated, Roma-type tomatoes are a beautiful scarlet color with distinct jagged golden stripes and are between three to six ounces in weight. They have the classic consistency of a paste tomato, making them perfect for sauce, paste, and preserving. Their flavor is mild and pleasant, and the fruit keep for a long time after picking without losing quality. This release is essentially a potato leaf, dwarf-growing "version" of the well loved parent variety 'Speckled Roman'.
The "Worry" family originated from a cross made by Craig LeHoullier between Dwarf Tomato Project release 'Wherokowhai' and the indeterminate variety 'Speckled Roman'. 'Dwarf Stony Brook Speckled' was selected and named by Gina McDermott in 2017. Along with key contributor Gina McDermott, Craig LeHoullier, Denise Salmon, Susan Oliverson, Bill Minkey, Mike Dunton, and John Dunton are the other contributors to creating this new variety. It was introduced by the Victory Seed Company in 2022. Each packet contains at least 20 seeds.
In an effort to keep this variety available to home gardeners, 'Dwarf Stony Brook Speckled' has been released by the "Dwarf Tomato Project" (the breeder) to the public under the Open Source Seed Initiative (OSSI). You have the freedom to use these OSSI-Pledged seeds in any way you choose. In return, if you save seeds or use 'Dwarf Stony Brook Speckled' to breed a new variety, you pledge not to restrict others' use of these seeds or their derivatives by patents or other means, and to include this pledge with any transfer of these seeds or their derivatives.
