Tanunda Red 
75 days, dwarf — 'Tanunda Red' is a vigorous, rugose, regular leaf variety that produces good amounts of fruit that are vibrant red in color. They are medium-sized (four to ten ounce), smooth, oblate in shape, juicy with a delicious, well-balanced flavor that is neither too tart or too sweet. A very good slicing-type tomato.
Developed by members of the "Dwarf Tomato Project" this variety originated from a cross between an early generation "Sleepy Family" selection called 'Wilpena' and 'Cherokee Purple' made by Patrina Nuske Small in 2008 and named 'Plentiful.' 'Tanunda Red' was selected and named by Patrina. Also involved in its development were Craig LeHoullier, Carol Knapp, Sandra Tipton, Marsha Eisenberg, and Bill Minkey. Introduced in 2016. Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds.

★★★☆☆ early, needs some support

Germination was great, and I gave several plants to neighbors. The plants needed some support and they produced early. The flavor was good, but not great. All in all, they\'re a pretty good fill-in until the more flavorful heirloom varieties produce.
★★★★☆ Rich and delicious!

Grew on my deck in large pot. Excellent growth but needs support. Was not as productive as 'Summer Sunrise', but I only grew one plant. We will see next year if it was just my cultural failings. Flavor is truly wonderful! The squirrels agree!
