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.

★★★★★ Here it is! A dwarf, potato leaf version of the beloved indeterminate Speckled Roman
By Craig LeHoullier on February 10, 2022

Sharing the same type of lush, potato leaf dwarf plant as Stony Brook Heart, this one has the classic long paste shape. The scarlet tomatoes are distinctly golden striped. As you would expect, the tomatoes are meaty and perfect for canning and sauce, but tasty enough to be a great salad tomato too.
