The compact plants are just under 4 feet tall and are very good producers of purple\/black, medium-to-large, beefsteak tomatoes. I tasted a &#8216;Dwarf Wild Fred&#8217; in November that was as good as any purple tomato I&#8217;ve grown. Especially recommended for small gardens or for growing in 5-gallon (or larger) containers as patio tomatoes. As with all of the new dwarf varieties, this compact tomato will require staking to support the fruit.<br \/>\nFor more information on the Dwarf Tomato Project check out the project&#8217;s site <a href=\"http:\/\/dwarftomatoproject.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> or Craig&#8217;s site <a href=\"http:\/\/www.craiglehoullier.com\/dwarf-tomato-breeding-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":285,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[11,31,54,13],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-8225","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-purple-tomatoes","7":"product_cat-beefsteak","8":"product_cat-dwarf-tomato-project","9":"product_cat-heritage-tomato-seed","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/8225","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\/285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=8225"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=8225"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=8225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
