A new 2017 release from the Dwarf Tomato Project. Indeterminate dwarf, rugose potato leaf, mid-season. The fruits are round, yellow, about 3.5 oz (100 g), super aromatic, juicy, with a pleasant sweet taste and a tart aftertaste.
Developed by members of the “Dwarf Tomato Project,” a cross between ‘Golden Dwarf Champion’ and ‘Green Giant’.
I sowed seeds for transplants in early February (could have done it around the 20th). Planted them out into bottomless cylinders in the greenhouse around April 15th, and they started to ripen in July.
