You won't regret growing this variety. I've done so for 5 years running and it's been wonderful every year.

Enjoy and let us know how things go.

Great tomato, grew one last year, and will grow 3 this year. Good size, taste, and production.

Quite good but but not great for me. It could have a heat issue. Not sure exactly, but the prodcution wasn't great.

Flavour was pretty good.

Personally, I prefer Sophie's Choice as a largish compact potplant, and it's red, which triggers the senses early in the season.

Just my thoughts.

Got two in a homemade SWT and they are growing well. Must be 3.5 foot high at a guess now with some fruit set but not as prolific as my others. Bloody impressive plant, but the fruit is slow to swell. Sitting and waiting on this one

I think the only thing that makes me
nervous about NBD is the size ...
I'm gonna have it on my patio ...

I like a nice little productive ornamental, plant ,
to look at, but still be edible, while your sitting sipping iced-tea ... and ... well you get the point ...

This year I grew "Golden Dwarf Champion" on the patio , and while it was fairly productive and the
growth habit was outstanding, the flavor
wasn't really there for me ...

Did someone say in a good spot NBD gets to be 4ft tall?
Might be my first year to prune ~

everything was perfect about GDC - except the taste -

Jack,

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. I got some of my NBD seeds from a forum member back at GW. Since then, I've also bought seeds from Victory. For me, the plants grow 3'-4' tall, produce all season, and tend to stay pretty healthy. The fruit is delicious. BTW, I grow only in pots (15 gal) and do put a cage on them for support.
