Product information
Sean’s Yellow Dwarf is a regular-leaf dwarf tomato that produces generous crops of smooth, medium-sized, oblate, bright-yellow fruit with pale yellow, juicy flesh and a refreshing, delicious flavour. Its sturdy, compact growth makes it an excellent choice for smaller gardens, raised beds and large containers, while still delivering the rich eating quality expected from an heirloom tomato.
Developed between 2006 and 2013, Sean’s Yellow Dwarf originated from a cross between ‘Budai Torpe’ and ‘Cherokee Green’, made by Patrina Nuske Small in Australia in 2006. The variety was then refined through the collaborative efforts of Dwarf Tomato Project members, with Lee Newman naming it after his friend Sean, in whose garden the promising plant was first discovered.

How to grow
Sow seed 6-8 weeks before you want to plant out your tomatoes. Never plant tomatoes in the same bed two years running as you risk infection from a build up of pests and diseases. Tomatoes need an open, sunny position, with plenty of air circulation to thrive. Tomatoes are best in a bed which has been heavily manured for a previous crop such as broccoli. A soil that is too rich in nutrients will produce prolific, but soft, sappy growth which is prone to disease. Long, leggy tomato seedlings can be planted very deeply or even on their sides, as the stem is able to grow roots when covered with soil, and a large, healthy root system will develop.
