Description

Tasmanian Chocolate

85 days — This was a Victory Seed Company introduction for 2011 and one of the dwarf varieties from the "Dwarf Tomato Project." The plants have dark green, regular leaf, rugose foliage, stout central stems, and grows to three to four feet in height. Perfect for a large pot or garden. The fruits are oblate, ranging from five to twelve ounces, and ripen to a deep mahogany color. Flavor is full, balanced and delicious.

'Tasmanian Chocolate' originated from a cross between 'New Big Dwarf' (an historic large fruited pink dwarf) and 'Paul Robeson', made in 2006 by Patrina Nuske Small in Australia. The variety was further selected and named by Linda Reid of Tasmania. Now in its ninth generation, it is a quite stable open-pollinated variety but still may produce the occasional off-type plant.

Others involved in its development are Craig LeHoullier, Lee Newman, Greg Fee, Michael Volk, Tim McElroy, Howard Kushner, Paul Fish and Bill Minkey.

Each packet contains approximately 10 seeds. Very rare this season. We hope to have more seed next year so if we run out, remember to click on the waiting list button and we will let you know when it is available again.

	Color of Cherokee Chocolate....in a short plant!
	We were thrilled when a nice chocolate colored, good sized dwarf showed up in our project. Though not the absolutely best flavored of the dwarfs (to my taste buds, anyway - though some people at Tomatopalooza just loved it!), it is productive, good sized and lets people who are space challenged grow a unique colored, tasty, good sized tomato in a 5 gallon pot on their patio! Looking forward to hearing from others on what they think of this one!
