Description
90 days, dwarf — The rugose, potato leaf plants of ‘Dwarf Elsie’s fancy’ are attractively variegated. They produce medium to large sized, four to twelve ounce, oblate shaped, bright yellow fruit. The fruit size, shape, flavor, and days to maturity are the same as with ‘Dwarf Walter’s Fancy‘, the main difference being skin color.
‘Dwarf Elsie’s Fancy’, along with ‘Dwarf Walter’s Fancy‘ and ‘Dwarf Pico’s Pride‘, are the first variegated dwarf varieties developed by the Dwarf Tomato Project and introduced by the Victory Seed Company for the 2021 gardening season. Originating from the “Acey” family, it was named by Craig LeHoullier for his grandmother, Elsie, the wife of Walter. Additional contributors are Pete Adland, Tom Martucci, Susan Oliverson, Debra Kennedy, Jared Scoville, Kevin Campbell, Caitlin LeHoullier and Bill Minkey.
