FREE: Heirloom ROSELLA PURPLE DWARF TOM. 6 SEEDS

The listing, Heirloom ROSELLA PURPLE DWARF TOM. 6 SEEDS has ended.

This is the first year for me growing them so I have no picture of actual tomatoes but online they look very much like Cherokee Purple but dwarf size plants. I have 6 seeds left and thought I would put them up for auction. Less than 2 ft tall with very large beefsteak tomatoes, weighing in around 6-12". Mid season Det. variety. Full intense, balanced flavor, producing around 58 days.
introduction for 2011 and one of the dwarf varieties from the "Dwarf Tomato Project." Similar to 'Cherokee Purple' in color, size, shape and flavor but on a dwarf growing plant. Regular leaf, dark green rugose foliage, stout central stem, grows to three to four feet in height. Perfect for a large container or a small garden space. The fruits are oblate, ranging from six to twelve ounces, and ripen to a deep purple-pink color. Flavor is full, intense, balanced and delicious.
'Rosella Purple' originated from a cross between 'Budai' (a small red fruited dwarf) and 'Stump of the World', made in 2006 by Patrina Nuske Small in Australia. A subsequent selection discovered by Craig LeHoullier led to 'Rosella Purple'. Now in its ninth generation, it is a quite stable open-pollinated variety but still may produce the occasional off-type plant.
