Dwarf Caitydid

80 days, dwarf — 'Dwarf Caitydid' is a rugose, regular leaf variety that produces lots of medium to large, smooth, oblate-shaped, yellow tomatoes with red swirls, and heavy red coloration in the flesh. The flavor is well balanced and delicious.

Developed by members of the "Dwarf Tomato Project" from a cross between 'New Big Dwarf' and 'Mortgage Lifter' (Pesta Strain) made by Patrina Nuske Small in 2007 and named "Pesty." 'Dwarf Caitydid' was selected and named by Craig LeHoullier after his daughter, Caitlin, in 2011.

Those involved with its development are Patrina Nuske Small, Craig LeHoullier, Amanda Fischer, Michael Volk, Doug Frank, Carol Knapp, Richard Watson, Shawn Conant, Simone Pennig, and Laurie Sutherland.

Introduced in 2016. Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds.

Pretty Bi-Color

First of all, the fruit produced are a very visually stunning blend of yellows and reds - each tomato is has its own coloration with streaking and marbleization. Very pretty.

The yield is high under normal weather conditions, but longer periods of extreme heat (95°F and higher) can lead to some blossom drop.

The plant size is fairly standard for a dwarf - about four feet tall. And the taste is pretty well balanced between sweet and tangy.
