Description
Dwarf Russian Swirl originated from a cross between Golden Dwarf Champion and Orange Russian #117 made by Patrina Nuske Small in 2005 and named Dopey F1. Dwarf Russian Swirl is a late-season rugose regular leaf dwarf with medium-large 6-12 oz oblate yellow-red bicolour fruits that have sweet well balanced flavours. Plants reach about a metre+ or a little over 3 feet by end of season and require support due to the weight of tomatoes. This variety was selected and named by Craig LeHoullier who co-manages the Dwarf Tomato Project with Patrina.
