“Delta Diver” is a vigorous dwarf variety with impressive rugose potato leaves. This is Blane Horton’s segregate from the cross Dwarf Wild Fred X H-28, which produced many fine dwarf types. Delta Diver grew vigorously to just over 3 feet in a 5 gallon pot, just over 4 feet in a 10 gallon pot. The plant was so bushy and leaf-filled that I couldn't see the first fruits forming deep inside. The gorgeous dwarf plant produces gleaming striped sunshine yellow fruits, very flat beefsteaks. The flavor was a bit on the tart side, but very clean. There is a red version, Delta Diver Red Striped, which has an abundance of red stripes and a deeper yellow orange color. This segregate, Delta Diver, has light striping of orange-red on bright yellow. The flesh is pale yellow and may show some interior red/pink if ripened in the heat. Note: One packet per order please.
