sweet dwarf suggestions?

honu · September 12, 2006

A friend asked me for a tasty, predominantly sweet, non-tart (or not very tart), small to med fruit, dwarf tomato that won't require much or any staking. Would appreciate any suggestions that fit this bill.

Polish Dwarf is mild and slightly sweet and Kootenai is a little sweeter still. Polish Dwarf much more productive than Kootenai.
Japanese Dwarf had the tidiest growth and was really a pretty plant too, good production , but has a little more tang.
I ended up staking Polish Dwarf and Kootenai, but I get a lot of strong wind. They would probably not need staking in a more protected area.

Thanks Jeanne!
I couldn't find Polish Dwarf or Japanese Dwarf in the catalogs I normally shop. Can you recommend a seed source?
