Jewel Beetle is a lovely little plant, reaching 24 to 30\u201d in a 5 to 7 gal pot and 12 to 15\u201d in a 1-gallon black nursery pot (holds less than 1 gallon of soil). It has interesting leaves that are rugose, showing the dwarf heritage, and wispy or elongated. I made a cross of Yellow Canary x (Indian Stripe x Green Sausage) in 2016 and have been selecting for sweet flavor, elongated bullet shaped small fruits, green when ripe color, and a faint gold striping more visible when fully ripe. The flavor is very sweet when fully ripe. My photos show cut fruit at less than full ripeness and whole fruit at dead ripe. If you want an interesting little sweet jewel that can be grown as a micro-dwarf and as a balcony-sized plant, Jewel Beetle was developed for you. <strong>NOTE: In this batch there are tiny seeds (probably non-viable) mixed with the big seeds and spending hours sorting them out is not something I can do now. So I have increased the number of seeds to greater than 40, and will sell these mixed seed size packets at a discount. You should still have well over 15 big good seeds in each packet. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18013,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[98,12,100,35,60,107,46,50,14],"product_tag":[113],"class_list":["post-22934","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-balcony-tomatoes","product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds","product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds-original-creation","product_cat-cherry-grape","product_cat-developing-varieties","product_cat-ellies-wow-varieties","product_cat-green","product_cat-micro-dwarf-tomatoes","product_cat-striped","product_tag-new-for-2024","first","instock","sale","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/22934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=22934"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=22934"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=22934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
