\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Dwarf Emerald Giant is a green-when-ripe<\/strong> variety from the Dwarf Tomato Project, bred by Craig LeHoullier<\/strong>. It produces large, sweet, and tender green beefsteaks on plants that typically reach about 3-3.3 ft (1 m) tall. Growers praise its excellent flavor and solid yields both in greenhouses and outdoors. While the fruits don’t store well for long, the plants show good resistance to leaf mold. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Green-when-ripe variety from the Dwarf Tomato Project. Turned out productive for me, height up to 2.6 ft (80 cm). Sowed the seeds late, so it only started fruiting in August. Fruits are large and sweet.<\/p>\n

Very tasty tomato. Large-fruited, yet puts out a solid yield. Outdoors in the dirt it gets to about 3.3 ft (1 m). Really love it!<\/p>\n

The discovery of the season! Got the seeds from Belka.
\nGrew one bush in the greenhouse and one outdoors. The greenhouse one started ripening a bit earlier, the bush was a little over 3.3 ft (1 m). Outdoors it was about 3.3 ft (1 m), BUT! even with the kind of summer we had, the outdoor yield was actually higher. Taste-wise: tender, sweet but not cloying. Appearance-wise: ugly, lumpy beefsteaks. So it’s basically ugly on the outside, delicious on the inside. Only one downside, probably typical for all greens, they don’t keep well.<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t say it’s particularly ugly. Except maybe to people who aren’t familiar with green-when-ripe tomatoes.<\/p>\n

Grew it for the first time this year. The variety turned out to be fairly early (I’d had bad luck with dwarfs before because they were so late), just like it said on the Batatovye Kuschi site where I bought the seeds.<\/p>\n

My yield was average, but the fruits are incredibly tasty. Turned out to be relatively resistant to the leaf mold that’s raging in my greenhouse right now. Overall, really liked the variety.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, my country house internet won’t let me upload photos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
