History

• Developed in the 2005-2016 by the members of the Dwarf Tomato Project from a cross between Budai Torpe and Cherokee Green made by Patrina Nuske Small in 2005 and named Witty. It was selected and named collaboratively by Patrina, Tim Warren and Craig LeHoullier (Patrina with the Kangaroo Paw, and Tim and Craig as different colors arose). Stabilization was a collaborative work of Patrina Nuske Small, Tim Warren, Craig LeHoullier, Jay Scott, Kevin Taylor, Bob Fromm, Dee Sackett, Howard Kushner, Carol Knapp, and Doug Frank, and Bill Minkey.
• Released in 2016.
