\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Dwarf Caitydid is a beautiful Dwarf Tomato Project release bred by Craig LeHoullier<\/strong> (named after his daughter Caitlin). This sturdy, super-compact dwarf stays under 2.5 feet but pumps out impressively large, 10.5 oz bicolor beefsteaks. Growers praise it for its dense foliage and intensely sweet, refreshing flavor, often ranking it as the absolute sweetest tomato in their garden. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Dwarf Caitydid. Natalya Pavlovna, thanks for the seeds of this cute little dwarf! Grew it outside. The plant was a real shorty, only about 1.6 feet (0.5 m) tall. Thick foliage. The beefsteaks reached up to 10.5 oz (300 g), yellow-orange-red. Very tasty and sweet. Probably the sweetest tomatoes I had in 2018.<\/p>\n

Inna, what beautiful tomatoes you got! And so huge… Awesome job, happy growing!<\/p>\n

My top post got kinda mangled when we moved to the new forum software, so I’m updating it here \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n

Caitydid Dwarf<\/p>\n

A handsome dwarf with bright bicolor fruits. The breeder Craig LeHoullier named it in honor of his daughter Caitlin. The translation floating around out there as “Katydid” (grasshopper) might actually be a mistake…<\/p>\n

When grown in pots, plant height reaches up to 27 inches (70 cm). Beefsteaks are a bright orange color with red splashes over the top, weighing up to 8.8 oz (250 g) and more. Flesh is juicy, aromatic with a refreshing sweet flavor. Good yielder, mid-season.<\/p>\n
