Developed between 2006 and 2012 by the members of the " Dwarf Tomato Project
" from a cross between 'Budai Torpe' and 'Black from Tula', made in 2006 by Patrina Nuske Small in Australia and named ' Grumpy
'. Sherry Shiesl and Susan Bailey of Alaska carried out the majority of the selection work on this new variety, which was named collaboratively by them in 2011. Ted Maiden grew out the initial seed supply for its 2012 introduction.
Can be grown outside as well as in a greenhouse
Minimum 20 seeds
Growers footnote 2021 - Like Yukon Quest this variety only grows to about 3ft but it produced a bundle of salad sized pink tomatoes that tasted great. One of our favourites in blind tastings.
