The bush looked handsome right from the seedling stage straight through to the end. Short, roughly 2 ft (60 cm) tall. Sat in a 3-gallon (12 L) pot. Thick, dark green rugose foliage. As far as the bulk harvest goes, it was mid-season, though the first few ripe tomatoes showed up pretty early on.<br \/>\nThe fruits are gorgeous, firm little dark red striped globes. Turned out to be very productive with excellent flavor. In early spring, I shuffled the pot back and forth between the greenhouse and indoors overnight. Once settled, I left it outside for good and never sheltered it from the rain. I mixed zeolite into the potting soil, so even through torrential downpours there was never an issue with soggy, waterlogged roots.<br \/>\nSeeds came from Natalya (Yaroslavna). Huge shoutout to her for introducing me to such a wonderful variety! Definitely keeping this one in my regular rotation.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/191\/14878-040917084517.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/191\/thumb_14878-040917084517.jpeg\" alt=\"Dwarf Sarandipity tomato, photo posted by Tiffany (1)\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/189\/14878-270817101425.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/189\/thumb_14878-270817101425.jpeg\" alt=\"Dwarf Sarandipity tomato, photo posted by Tiffany (2)\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" \/><\/a><\/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 Storage<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant:<\/strong> True dwarf habit bred by the Dwarf Tomato Project (selected from the &#8220;Cheeky&#8221; cross of Black from Tula and Dwarf Wild Fred).
