History

Developed in the 2009-2017 by the members of the Dwarf Tomato Project from the Snowy line.
The Snowy family was created by Ray South in 2009 by crossing Snow White Cherry with a red F2 selection from the Sleepy line. Dwarf Bendigo Moon was selected and named by Gregg Muller. Greg and Susan Oliverson carried out the majority of the selection work, aided by Craig LeHoullier. Bill Minkey produced the release sample of seed in 2017.
