If you could only grow 4 dwarf tomato plants...

jhp · February 4, 2016

what would they be? For the sake of argument, lets say, they need to have good flavor, of course, and produce well, no stingy varieties. Let's also exclude any cherry types.

In this case I would have 4 San Marzano Nano

Cannot promise about taste but here they are :

== NEW BIG DWARF ( FIRST IN 2016)
== HAHMS GELBE TOPFTOMATE
== ROSELLA ( CRIMSON or PURPLE)
== PINK PASSION

Another one for spare :
== PURPLE HEART.... But not a true dwarf.

Yippee! All the ones I'm trying this season have already been listed here!

This will my first experience with any of the dwarf varieties.

Great thread, Jen- but I'm afraid it's going to have me starting a 2017 wish list already.

Ha ha! My list is growing as well! I've been growing some dwarfs for years, but thought I should mix it up a bit this year.

RobinB · February 4, 2016

Rosella Purple
Tasmanian Chocolate
Galen's Yellow (once I stabilize it!)
Jeremy's Stripes (once I stabilize it!)

Sorry, I usually fill my yard with unstable Dwarves... I need to try some other released varieties.

While I haven't grown that many, there are two I grew for the project that would easily have a place in my garden every year - Pink Passion and Tastywine.

What we need is a dwarf Orange Russian.
How do I start.

I am a year away from trying to grow some Dwarf varieties, but I can say the one I've read the most really good reviews about is New Big Dwarf. Although it's not new anymore - pre 1915.
