Tatura Dwarf

[Aussiemark]

I have few of these started from seed. Can't find any good information online about the qualities of the plant or the fruit.

All I can is it was once grown in Victoria Australia, dwarf plant, red round fruit.

Anyone grown this and give me more information?

Fruit size and quality?

Plant vigour, disease resistance, size?

Thanks

Mark

Mark, you might want to take a look in the General Discussion area where there currently is a thread on Tatura since Michael has grown it before and is growing it now, and Lomatia, from Oz, has made a suggestion about it.

You might also find some information from this Google search;

Yah I have searched the forum and google (read every page it pulled up in google). All the same basic information, round red fruit on dwarf plant, once used commercially in Victoria.

No real reviews on growing the plant (vigour, disease resistance, ect) and no "tasting" notes either.

Since there seems to be lots of reference to its existence and history, yet can't find a single comment about the fruit taste, I'm kinda jumping to the conclusion it may not be a great tomato.

Thanks
