Bred in South Australia where citrus flourishes, this large, orange-fruited tomato is carried on sturdy, dwarf plants that will nevertheless need staking owing to the sheer weight of the fruits they carry. Loxton Lad tomatoes are meaty but have enough juice for eating raw in salads where their colour will be an added advantage. As you may have guessed, this variety comes from the Dwarf Tomato Project, but there's nothing “dwarf” about the fruits you'll harvest! Open Source Seed Initiative This variety of Dwarf Tomato was bred by the Dwarf Tomato Project. All varieties from the Dwarf Tomato Project are released in the Open Source Seed Initiative (OSSI) and are sold under the following pledge: "You have the freedom to use these OSSI seeds in any way you choose.
