Variety characteristics:

• 463 Dwarf Desperado is an exceptionally productive compact tomato bearing clusters of smooth, elongated heart-shaped fruits weighing approximately 2.5 to 5.3 oz. The glossy tomatoes mature to a rich crimson pink or deep raspberry red, often developing a gracefully pointed blossom end. Their dense, meaty yet juicy flesh delivers pronounced sweetness, balanced acidity, and rich classic tomato flavor with a strong fresh aroma. Determinate tree-type plants grow approximately 24 inches tall and carry sturdy stems with wrinkled regular-leaf foliage. The firm fruits show good crack tolerance and maintain their eating quality well when harvested promptly at full color. An excellent choice for patio containers, raised beds, fresh snacking, salads, sauces, juice, and whole-fruit canning.
