History
In 2012, Sherry Long of the "Dwarf Tomato Project," crossed 'German Red Strawberry' with Livingston's 'Dwarf Stone' and created what the group calls, the "Softy family." 'Dwarf Andy's Forty' was selected from the Softy family, and named by Susan Oliverson, who carried out essentially all of the stabilization effort; Dee Sackett and Craig LeHoullier provided a bit of help on the original Softy family work.
