Variety characteristics:

• 363 Dwarf Maritime Bells is a distinctive midseason dwarf tomato producing pear-shaped, teardrop, and short plum-shaped fruits weighing approximately 1.4 to 2.8 oz. The unusual tomatoes mature to dusky red, purple, and deep mahogany, decorated with olive-green striping, darker shoulders, and softly blended pink highlights. The dense, juicy purple-red flesh contains relatively few seeds and delivers full-bodied sweetness, balanced tomato acidity, and a rich, savory flavor with subtle wine-like notes. Compact dwarf plants generally reach approximately 3.3 to 3.9 feet tall and develop sturdy stems with rugose regular-leaf foliage. Allow several productive stems to grow and provide a strong cage or stake to support the heavy fruit clusters. Excellent for fresh slicing, salads, salsa, roasting, sauces, pickling, and colorful tomato platters.
