GNOME SHADOW BOXING, USA. Breeder: Tom Wagner. Mid-season variety. Dwarf, reaching up to 1 meter in height. Elongated fruits about 8 cm long. Exceptionally beautiful fruit coloration: golden-orange with pink stripes and spots. The area near the stem is shaded with purple. The plants are of a determinate bush type with thick stems and are very productive. The fruits have excellent texture, fleshy, with little juice, delicious, and consist mostly of pulp.

They exhibit increased and even very high resistance to fungal and viral diseases — some even claim complete immunity to late blight. These tomatoes are easy to grow, suitable even for beginner gardeners. The fruits look beautiful on the bush, fruiting continues until frost, and the yield is simply fantastic.

The plant is determinate, with a standard growth habit, simple yet large and wrinkled leaves. Each cluster holds 4-6 fruits, weighing 100–120 g. This is an unbelievably beautiful variety! The fruits have dense ink and lilac strokes of anthocyanin near the stem, while the bottom half turns red. Note that the variety has two main lines differing in fruit shape.

HISTORY OF THE DWARF TOMATO VARIETIES

In 2006, an international initiative called the Dwarf Tomato Project was launched. This organization was created in response to the demand from home gardeners wanting to grow tomatoes in small spaces — for those who wish to make the most of a tiny garden, terrace, patio, or balcony. Key features of the dwarf tomatoes include:

• Attractive and productive, growing up to 140 cm depending on the variety;

• All are open-pollinated varieties, not hybrids;

• Dark, dense, wrinkled foliage with a thick central stem;

• Fruits come in all sizes and shapes, including large-fruited types up to 500 g;

• A wide range of flavor notes: sweet, tangy, fruity, savory — to suit any taste;

• Fruit colors include: red, green (when ripe), bicolored, striped, black (purple or brown), pink, yellow, orange, ivory.
