Thank you for the seeds. I planted them in 2023. At first, I had doubts because of the fruit color (mine turned out more red), and I thought I might’ve mixed up the seedlings… but no - it’s definitely the right one! I haven’t seen this leaf type or plant structure in any other variety I’ve grown - truly a little ‘forest mushroom’, the leaves are thick, beautiful, slightly crinkled. As a seedling, the plant looked like a toy! 😊 In the greenhouse, though, it eventually outgrew me, and the tomatoes at the top were even bigger.

This will be my 4th year growing Tasmanian Chocolate. I love it for its flavor and decent productivity. The fruits develop a beautiful brown color with sweet flesh - though last season's yield was surprisingly low. I suspect it might have needed more consistent watering.

I liked this variety, but it has some growing quirks. The bushes are very dense, so it’s essential to remove leaves from the main stem. Otherwise, the side shoots can't grow properly due to the tightly packed, sturdy foliage.

Also, I had to use strong stakes, without them, the plants would topple over under the weight of the fruit. The tomatoes grow very closely together, practically touching each other.

I grew Tasmanian Chocolate for the first time. The seeds were from King. The plants reached up to 0.8 meters tall. The fruits were very tasty, juicy, sweet, and attractive, weighing up to 300 grams. The yield was good.

My Tasmanian plant grew to about 110 cm. All my tomatoes tend to grow taller than stated. The color is amazing a rich brick-brown, and the flavor is very good. The plant itself is strong and well-leafed. I only removed the stems that grew inward to avoid a dense thicket. I will definitely plant it again next year!

The dwarf tomatoes were a disappointment this year. Grown outdoors, and the weather was fairly decent for our region (Wrocław, Poland). Most set only 1-3 small fruits, either rotting from rain or scorching in the sun. Out of 10 varieties, only two were exceptions. Tasmanian Chocolate and Wild Fred. Both were absolutely excellent and worth growing again. As for the rest, I’m not sure.

Last season I grew Tasmanian Chocolate outdoors, practically under cover. (Started with row cover, then went without, but when the July rains and cold came, I covered everything again). By June 30th this tomato reached 80cm - the bush stayed compact, and I only pruned suckers below the first cluster.

I wouldn't classify it as a dwarf variety - if grown as a single stem, it would probably grow taller. Really enjoyed the tomato's flavor though, so I'll grow it again, but it does need more space than a dwarf would.

The plant looks like domestic determinate types. I grew it outdoors, and it was a bit over 0.5 meters tall. I pruned the suckers up to the first cluster, which was enough. The fruits were medium-sized, 100–200 grams, with no small ones. The fruit color is typical for brown tomatoes, and the cross-section looks the same (the photo’s color isn’t quite accurate). The flesh is meaty and buttery. The taste is sweet and rich despite the endless rain. The flavor was saved by the clay soil enriched with humus, ash, and mulch.

From the dwarf tomato series, so far I’ve only grown Tasmanian Chocolate. I loved the description and the reviews. But for two years, the results were very poor, it was extremely late, had almost no yield, and the taste didn’t stand out at all.

Still, I didn’t give up. This year, I sowed it earlier (around late February), and it grew in the greenhouse. It got slightly frostbitten after transplanting. It was still late, but what a stunner it turned out to be! A small bush, about 1 meter tall, completely covered in beautiful brown-chocolate fruits weighing 100-300 grams.

I really liked the taste this time. This year I’ve ordered many more dwarf varieties, read up on them a lot, and plan to dedicate a whole garden bed just for them, can’t wait to admire them. I love tomatoes not only for their yield and taste, but also for their beauty, unique colors, and unusual shapes. I’ll definitely share my results!

An excellent early, I’d even say super early, variety. Determinate, 50–60 cm tall. Grown outdoors. It was the very first to start setting fruit. For an early tomato, the taste is really good - not watery or overly sour, just a nice classic tomato flavor with a bit of tang. The fruits are flat-round and a beautiful reddish-brown color. It’s worth staking only because the plant tends to topple over under the weight of so many fruits. The tomatoes aren’t small - they range from 80 to 200 grams. Even at the seedling stage, this variety is a beauty — like a little forest mushroom with dark green, slightly crinkled leaves.
