\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Dwarf Gondwana Rose is a late-season<\/strong> anthocyanin dwarf from the Dwarf Tomato Project’s Gondwana series, bred by Patrina Nuske Small<\/strong>. It produces 3.5 oz (100 g) dark pink, round fruits with heavy purple shoulders on sturdy 4 ft (1.2 m) rugose plants. The grower here notes it has a complex, tart flavor and requires a long season, making it a better fit for southern growers than for northern climates, where fruits may need to be picked green to ripen indoors.

DWARF GONDWANA ROSE.<\/p>\n

This is the third dwarf I grew this past season. And if I highly recommend growing the PPI<\/a> and OPO<\/a> dwarfs, especially for northern growers, things aren’t so clear-cut with Gondwana Rose.<\/p>\n

This dwarf, like most tomatoes from this project, is a late one for our regions.<\/p>\n

I got some ripe fruits, sure, but at the very end of the season. And a bunch of them I had to pick green and bring inside to ripen off the vine.<\/p>\n

For folks further south, you can grow it without any problems. It’s a typical dwarf, fairly short (4 ft \/ 1.2 m), with dark rugose foliage and a thick, sturdy stem.<\/p>\n

The fruits are round balls, sometimes a bit flattened, very pretty, dark pink with distinct anthocyanin, averaging around 3.5 oz (100 g). The flavor isn’t what you’re used to, it’s complex, got a noticeable tartness, I know there are fans of that. Interestingly, some caterpillars really took a liking to the fruits of this variety late in the summer. Even though there were sweeter tomatoes growing right nearby.<\/p>\n
