Variety characteristics:

• 457 Dwarf Numbat is a prolific midseason dwarf tomato producing round, medium-small fruits averaging approximately 3 oz. Closely resembling its Green Zebra parent, the tomatoes mature to golden yellow and amber green while retaining attractive dark green vertical striping. Green, juicy flesh delivers a bright, tangy tomato flavor with refreshing acidity and a pleasantly savory finish. Strong tree-type plants grow approximately 24 to 31 inches tall in this seed lot and carry dark green, wrinkled regular-leaf foliage. The compact plants perform beautifully in patio containers, raised beds, greenhouses, and small gardens, although the fruit-laden branches benefit from sturdy support. Excellent for fresh slicing, salads, salsa, sandwiches, roasting, and colorful tomato platters.
