Tomato 'Rosella Purple' 23W34 Tomato S3-
Tomato 'Rosella Purple' 23W34 Tomato S3- (Sleepy Family, 2011) Dwarf Tomato, Mature plant size: 75day, PURPLE, deep purple-pink, USDA Hardiness Zone Veg, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed S3 for 151 DAYS (Victory). Planted in 2023.
Victory Seeds: 75 days, dwarf — 'Rosella Purple' is similar to 'Cherokee Purple' in color, size, shape and flavor but on a dwarf growing plant. Regular leaf, dark green rugose foliage, stout central stem, grows to three to four feet in height. Perfect for a large container or a small garden space. The fruits are oblate, ranging from six to twelve ounces, and ripen to a deep purple-pink color. Flavor is full, intense, balanced and delicious. 'Rosella Purple' originated from a cross between 'Budai' (a small red fruited dwarf) and 'Stump of the World', made in 2006 by Patrina Nuske Small in Australia. A subsequent selection discovered by Craig LeHoullier led to 'Rosella Purple'. It was grown out to its ninth generation before being released, and is a quite stable open-pollinated variety, but still may produce the occasional off-type plant.
2023 note: produced a little later than my other dwarfs, tasty. Will grow this one again. Was only 4-5 feet tall, some of the other dwarfs got up to 6 feet.
