🍅 Quick take: Dwarf Beryl Beauty is a historic, inaugural 2011 release from the Dwarf Tomato Project. Created from the “Sneezy” family (a cross between Golden Dwarf Champion and Green Giant made by Patrina Nuske Small) and selected/named by Craig LeHoullier, it is a sturdy, regular-leaf rugose dwarf. Growers love it for its manageable 3 to 4-foot height and its medium-sized, green-when-ripe (GWR) tomatoes that pack a remarkably sweet, juicy, and meaty flavor. Full summary ↓
Growers’ Notes and Photos (USDA Zone 4 Experience)
Variety from the Dwarf Tomato Project. Grew it in the greenhouse, the plant hit about 4 feet (120 cm) tall, mid-season. Medium-sized, round, yellow-green tomatoes. Super tasty, meaty but juicy, and sweet.
My Beryl. Really digging this one, it’s delicious. Outside the plants stayed around 3.3 feet (1 m) and were really sturdy. Yield is pretty solid.
