Description

Dwarf Firebird Sweet originated from a cross between Dwarf Wild Fred (one of our early releases) and Beauty King made by Vince Lavallo in 2011 and named Beauty (an F1 hybrid). Dwarf Firebird Sweet is a mid to late season regular leaf dwarf with heavy yields of medium sized smooth oblate pink tomatoes, ranging from 6-8 ounces, with vertical golden stripes. The fruit have a well balanced, assertive, delicious flavor. Plants reach about a metre+/ 3-5 ft by end of season. This variety was selected and named by project co-lead Craig LeHoullier.
