Stays compact and tidy, so it won’t take over like other sprawling currants; easy to grow and earlier, too. Branched trusses make for accessible harvest and fruits detach without damage for more usable fruit. Very high yields of tiny, red fruit deliver very sweet flavour. Best in-ground. All-America Selections National Winner. Versatile and perfect for all occasions – eating fresh off the vine or cooking up in a quick sauce. The elongated shape is reminiscent of a small Roma tomato, which is great for cooking. The firm texture and sweet, rich flavour mean it can be eaten fresh like cherry and grape tomatoes. Great disease resistance, too! Resistant to leaf mold, Fusarium, nematodes and tobacco mosaic virus. Best grown in-ground, including high tunnels. Sun Dipper is an orange “dipper” tomato with elongated fruit that is easily held between your thumb and fingers for dipping into dressing on a vegetable platter. This unique elongated fruit shape is eye- catching and delicious, and it’s perfect for differentiating vegetable programs at retail. Performs well in field production as well as high tunnels. Prune plant to 1 to 2 leaders to increase fruit size up to 3 to 4 in. (8 to 10 cm) long.
