‘Dwarf Hannah’s Prize’ was developed by the members of the ‘Dwarf Tomato Project’ in 2005-2017 from the ‘Softy’ line, which came from a cross made by Sherry Long in 2012 by crossing German ‘Red Strawberry’ with ‘Dwarf Stone’. Named by Susan Oliverson, who carried out essentially all of the stabilization efforts. Dee Sackett and Craig LeHoullier provided a bit of help on the original ‘Softy’ family work. The original release lot of seed was grown by Bill Minkey and it was released in 2018.
Indeterminate, dwarf-type plants with regular and rugose leaf foliage produce a high yield of medium-sized, about 6-12 oz, round red fruit. Some of the plants can occasionally produce striped fruit – red with green stripes, changing to golden yellow when fully ripe. Excellent, rich tomato flavor.
