Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T). Dwarf Mr. Snow - sliced fruit. 2012-08-30.

B.C KO T

indet. dwarf (tree-type) plants with rugose potato leaf, 5-12 oz flattened beefsteaks with smooth shoulders, pale yellow color inside and out, very meaty flesh with small seed cavities and not many seeds. Very nice sweet flavor with a hint of citrus. (20 seeds per packet)

Seed source:

1. plant from Jeannine Chalmers, Coquitlam, BC, Canada 11 / Victory Seed Company 11
2. NC LE C 11 (F8, vial 11-31) (Craig LeHoullier, Raleigh, North Carolina) / WI MI B (Bill Minkey of Darien, Wisconsin) and TX AN S 10 (Susan Anderson, Texas)

Year grown: 2011 (#1), 2012 (#2)

Location: Zone 7b, PNW, Anmore, BC, Canada (760 ft above sea level)


NC LE C

I grew out vial 2819, F7 seed which I got from Bill Minkey and is one of the CV seed sources - as well as vial 3041, F7 seed which I got from Suze. Plant habit and leaf shape as expected - Indeterminate potato leaf dwarf, first ripe fruit in 82 days and 68 days for the two plantings (82 days for the plant a bit more shaded). Plants are still healthy and producing well. Yield very good, fruit are oblate but smooth and quite regular, in the 6-8 ounce range with a few larger, ivory with a pale pink blush on the blossom end of some fruit for 2819, and smooth, medium green for 3041, which is a surprise! Flavor is just outstanding - balanced, intense, in the 8.5 out of 10 range. This matched my flavor expectations - it is really a great tomato - both in the expected white, and surprising green colored fruit. F8 see of the expected white is saved in vial 11-31 and the green in vial 11-149. It may be well worth working on stabilizing the green - perhaps we can call it Dwarf Mr. Green Genes!

History

  • Developed in the 2006-2011 by the members of the Dwarf Tomato Project from a cross between Golden Dwarf Champion with Green Giant made by Patrina Nuske Small in Australia. Tomato growers involved in its development are David Lockwood (Australia), Susan Anderson (Texas), Paul Fish and Bill Minkey (Wisconsin).
  • Should be quite stable in its 7th generation (2011).
  • First introduced commercially by Victory Seed Company in 2011.
  • This variety was selected and named by Craig LeHoullier after friend and local newspaper columnist, A. C. Snow, who is also a lover of great tomatoes.
  • More information about the development of this cultivar can be found on the Dwarf Tomato Project website.
