What are your Top 5 favourite Dwarf project 2020? - Page 2

PNW_D · October 9, 2020

No posts since mid July - so thought I'd bring this one back to the top - any more standouts from anyone?

Bundaberg Rumball was my best overall this year - (apart from Sunchocola - which is neither a dwarf nor OP)

Dwarf Firebird Sweet was amazing in the taste category - but just not a high score for production

T0mat0stevek · October 9, 2020

Sweet Scarlet and Rosella Purple are the two I will grow again next year. Six others will be retired and another six I have not grown will get their chances.

Dwarf Sweet Sue was a big yes for me this year. I also loved Lime Green Salad ( not DTP) and Dwarf Velvet Night. Uluru Ochre had yummy flavor but not enough production.

Nannon · October 10, 2020

I’ve recently planted mine out so I’m hoping they go well. I’ve got growing Dwarf Blazing Beauty, Summertime Gold, Boronia, Mallee Rose, Sweet Scarlet, Kangaroo Paw Green, Gondwana Lava, Wherokowai, Summertime Green, Rosella Purple and Rosella Crimson. I really hope they all do well

Nannon - nice to see a report from someone starting their spring season ..

was wondering about Gondwana Lava - one new to me - but then I checked it out

nice - should be a winner with Adelaide Festival in its parentage - one of my favourites

Currently, my top 5 are (in no particular order), Boronia, Mr. Snow, Uluru Ochre, Wherokowhai, and Rosella Purple.

Shrinkrap · October 15, 2020

We had a heat wave, a lightning strike, some fires, then some disease I've never seen before, but a few I cut back are returning.

Really impressed by Malee Rose, Wild Fred, Brandy Fred, and Perfect Harmony. Firebird and Beauty King were amazing early, and Sweet Sue was looking good late. She is still setting fruit. Sneaky Sauce was good throughout.

Dark Rumor · October 24, 2020

My top five are:
Rosella Crimson - very large size for dwarfs and very productive, taste was good
Dwarf Pink Passion - the first clusters were good size tomatoes, very productive, taste was good, earliest of the dwarfs
New Big Dwarf - Excellent flavor, large tomatoes, moderate production
Tasmanian Chocolate - Excellent flavor, medium to small tomatoes, moderate production
Rosella purple - excellent flavor, medium to small tomatoes, moderate production

Picture is Rosella Crimson

Grew many , but these 5 were this years best. All tasty!
Bundaberg rumball
Wild spudleaf
Boronia - this is my shadow place plant ! Not full production there, but ripe in midseason.
Uluru Ochre
Dwarf Orange cream

Surprised with the different tastes of the dwarfs! Did not expect that. A very fine work of selecting to tastiness.

Nannon · November 23, 2020

Mine are getting close. I can’t wait to taste them! I’ve been watching them very closely in anticipation.
I’ve even got a little helper keeping the bugs away.

**nctomatoman** · November 25, 2020

I finally got to some recent releases this year - super impressed with CC McGee (large white), Dwarf Suz's Beauty (yellow, red blush), and a few Mike is about to release at Victory - Dwarf Noah's Stripes (purple, green stripes), Dwarf Speckled Heart (red heart, gold stripes), Dwarf Tanager (large bright orange). Also Dwarf Purple Heartthrob is now listed at Victory - purple heart with green stripes, delicious.

The best dwarf I grew is a (hopefully next year) release - Dwarf Gloria's Treat, from the Ivalde family - potato leaf large red/yellow bicolor hearts! Delicious!

Nannon · November 27, 2020

A bicolour heart sounds great! Hopefully seeds for that will one day make it down under.

littleukgarden · December 15, 2020

Really curious and hopeful to see how my first year of dwarf tomato plants progresses in 2021 in the UK, and hope to be able to add useful information from what I believe is the equivalent to a zone 9 garden environment ��

tryno12,

Beautiful plants and planter!! What was the approximate spacing for the plants? I'm soon to set mine out and making plans

.

TIA

Let's see. Dwarf Noah's Stripes (ahem), Wherokowhai, Dwarf Sweet Sue, either Dwarf Scarlet Heart or Dwarf Speckled Heart (both are excellent), and Rosella Crimson (gotta have a pink or red one, right). I grow many dwarf plants not developed by the Dwarf Project, also. Love em all.
