Finally had everyone ripen and did a taste testing this weekend. Clockwise in first photo is Uluru Ochre, Mr Snow, Wild Fred, Wherokowhai and Beryl Beauty in the center. Beryl Beauty has turned out to be my favorite. It has a mild sweet flavor with no acidity to it. Second favorite is Mr Snow. It is also a sweet mild taste but with a slight lemony taste. Wild Fred tastes very similar to a Cherokee Purple. The flavor wasn't quite as intense as I was hoping but we have had tons of rain. Wherokowhai kind of tastes like a generic tomato to me and Uluru Ochre tastes like grass.

    What a beautiful tomato platter! And thanks for posting the varieties! I haven’t heard of those before.

    Very glad to see this. Thanks! I’m fascinated by the Dwarf tomatoes, grow several every year and enjoy reading other people’s experience with them.

    My best one this year was Rosella Purple. I love the full-flavored, umami-rich, dark tomatoes most of all, so that was not surprising. Tasmanian Chocolate was my number two. Both were top notch fruit, excellent taste and texture. They were generous producers, pest free, disease free, easy to grow. Robust and vigorous plants.

    My season is different from yours. NE Texas, 8a. Here’s a look at Rosella Purple from June 15th:

    I have not tried any of your varieties. Are there any of them that you would grow again next year? May I ask your approximate location (like what state?)

    How tall and bushy did your plants get? How much spacing between? This is awesome info! I was most pumped on the uluru ochre 😆 I have no experience growing the colored slicer tomato’s.

    Nice. I grew dwarfs for the first time this year. Fred’s Tye Dye and Brandyfred. Breandyfred has done well for me and they taste great. enjoy!

    Beryl beauty is green ? I got Jade Beauty and they are yellow, really disappointed. I wanted to do a multicolored salsa
