Variety characteristics:

• 452 Dwarf Scarlet Heart is a productive midseason dwarf tomato bearing abundant scarlet-red, heart-shaped fruits averaging approximately 4 to 6 oz. The smooth tomatoes range from broad hearts to more elongated oxheart forms, often finishing with an attractive pointed blossom end. Their dense, meaty flesh delivers a rich, full tomato flavor with a satisfying balance of sweetness and acidity. Vigorous tree-type plants carry wrinkled regular-leaf foliage with a relatively open, wispy structure that allows better visibility and airflow around the fruit. Plants in this seed lot grow approximately 3.3 to 3.9 feet tall and benefit from sturdy caging or staking. Excellent for slicing, sandwiches, salads, roasting, salsa, juice, and thick tomato sauces.
