History

  • Developed in the 2009-2013 by the members of the Dwarf Tomato Project from a cross between Dwarf Russian Swirl (out of the Dopey family) and Lucky Cross (Dizzy family).
  • It is the collaborative work of Ray South, Richard Watson, Craig LeHoullier, Martha Hufford, Soren Linnemann, Lyn Rancourt, Patrina Nuske Small, Michael Volk, Bill Yoder, Doug Frank, Bill Minkey and Willa Osis.
  • The name is pronounced "fer-dow-co-fi", which is a native New Zealand Maori word that means 'red/yellow'. The variety was named by New Zealand project member Richard Watson.
  • Introduced commercially by Tatiana's TOMATObase Seeds and Heritage Tomato Seed in 2014.
  • More information about the development of this cultivar can be found on the Dwarf Tomato Project website.
