The Spud Viper Dwarf Tomato striking dwarf tomato variety with olive-green fruits accented by vibrant orange stripes. Derived from the renowned "Viper" lines, this potato-leaf dwarf tomato features plants that typically grow between 3 to 4 feet tall, making them ideal for raised beds, patios, and small-space gardens. Despite its compact growth, this variety produces abundant yields of beautifully striped fruits averaging around 3 ounces each.
The fully ripened tomatoes boast a unique coloration of olive-green with orange stripes, complemented by a rich, sweet, and tangy flavor, perfect for fresh salads, sauces, and snacking straight off the vine. The fruits have a balanced sweetness and tanginess, suitable for fresh eating or sauce-making. This productive dwarf variety retains all the delicious flavor of larger heirloom tomatoes, making Viper PL Dwarf a fantastic option for gardeners who seek classic tomato flavor but have limited gardening space.
