The bush is very compact with large rugose leaves. When grown in pots, the plants stay under 20-24 inches (50-60 cm) tall. The variety is a very heavy yielder! The fruits are bright yellow, taking on an orange tint when fully ripe, shaped like a small plum with a little beak. Weight is 1.7-3.5 oz (50-100 g), early season. The flavor is mild and sweet, not dry. The fruits keep for a long time after picking without losing quality. Good for fresh eating, sun-drying, and canning. The result of a cross made by Craig LeHoullier between Dwarf Golden Heart and the indeterminate variety Speckled Roman.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_11\/Polish_20230725_203740425.jpg.0090db1747d69c6216c946a59d969a11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2023_11\/Polish_20230725_203740425.thumb.jpg.fafb550d616600249afb19adf26af0a7.jpg\" alt=\"Dwarf Banana Toes tomato, photo posted by Irina Volga (1)\" width=\"285\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"full-summary\" class=\"tldr-box\" style=\"background: #f4f9f4; padding: 20px; border-left: 5px solid #4CAF50; margin-top: 30px; border-radius: 4px;\">\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Full Summary: Plant, Yield, Taste and Uses<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant:<\/strong> A very compact, rugose-leaf dwarf that stays under 2 ft (60 cm), making it a perfect candidate for container growing.
