This Year's Tomatoes - The Dwarfs (H-M)

More dwarf tomatoes going in this year:

Husky Gold - The Husky Gold tomato is popular for its beautiful gold color and because it is compact growing, is often chosen as a patio or container variety. Growing award winning varieties always improves your chances for success, and the Husky Gold hybrid tomato was the winner of the 1993 All-America Selections award. It is resistant to cracking, verticillium and fusarium wilts.

Kangaroo Paw Green - 90 days, determinate dwarf — 'Kangaroo Paw Green' is a later season variety with plants that are vigorous, prolific, uniform, compact dwarf in habit with rugose, regular leaf foliage. The fruits are round to flattened-globe in shape, two to five ounces in weight, and green flesh and amber skin when ripe and are very tasty.

Mulate - Mulatte Dwarf tomato is a good producing and very tasty variety. Chocolate/bronze colored fruits can weigh 10 ounces, but most average 5-8. Plants are about 3 feet tall, yet need staking. Our fruits are usually sweet and have rich complex flavor. Texture is excellent, especially on a sandwich. Fruits begin to ripen about 75 days after transplant. Mulatte Dwarf can do well in larger containers or small gardens. Perfect as a snack, for garnish, cooking, slicing on a platter and also for market sales. A very good choice if you like rich tasting tomatoes!

Mandurang Moon - 65 days, dwarf — 'Dwarf Mandurang Moon' has rugose, potato leaf plants that produces lots of oval shaped, ivory colored, one to two ounce, cherry tomatoes with an excellent, well balanced flavor.
