334. EMARALD CITY DWARF
The Emerald City Dwarf Tomato is a distinctive variety developed by Canadian breeder Karen Olivier as part of her “Short and Sweet” project, which draws inspiration from “The Wizard of Oz.” This semi-determinate dwarf plant typically reaches a height of 40-50 cm, making it ideal for container gardening and small spaces. The tomatoes are mini-beefsteak in shape, featuring a vibrant jade-green skin adorned with golden stripes. They offer a rich, sweet flavor, with the green coloration indicating ripeness. The plants are known for their excellent productivity, producing clusters of fruits throughout the growing season. Emerald City tomatoes are well-suited for fresh consumption, salads, and salsas. Their unique appearance and delightful taste make them a favorite among home gardeners.
