Dwarf Stony Brook Speckled
\nA true dwarf plant carrying broad, wrinkled potato leaf foliage (rugose PL). I grew mine in a large container tucked into the corner of the greenhouse all summer. The bush stays very tidy and compact, topping out around 26-28 inches (65-70 cm), with thick, sturdy stems. You can easily train it to 2 or 3 main leaders.
\nThe fruit are Roma-sized paste tomatoes, painted a gorgeous scarlet with sharp, jagged golden streaks. Flesh is dense, thick, and meaty with a mild, sweet-forward flavor profile.
\nOnce ripe, they keep on the counter for a remarkably long time without going soft or losing their flavor. Fantastic for boiling down into rich, thick tomato paste or whole-pack canning. I ended up freezing a whole batch of them completely intact, no chopping required.
\nLineage notes: Bred in the Dwarf Tomato Project “Worry” family, which originated from a cross made by Craig LeHoullier between the dwarf Wherokowhai and indeterminate Speckled Roman. Dwarf Stony Brook Speckled was selected and named by Gina McDermott in 2017, and commercially introduced through Victory Seed Company in early 2022.

Picked up seed for this beautiful Stony Brook, plus the heart-shaped sister selection – Dwarf Stony Brook Heart. Going to plant them right next to each other to compare the differences. \ud83d\ude0a Hope to report back with notes this fall!
