7. The newly produced Dwarf growing tomatoes are from a project I've co-led for 13 years

Background is here

http://www.craiglehoullier.com/dwarf-tomato-breeding-project/

My co-leader in Australia has a web site too

https://www.dwarftomatoproject.net/

Our first releases were in 2010 - we now have 90 in catalogs - aiming for another 20 by the end of the year.

We've worked with four companies to do our releases - Victory Seeds, Tatiana's TOMATObase, Sample Seed Shop and Heritage Seed Market. Others are now jumping in big time - Fruition Seeds, Restoration Seeds.

My third book will be telling the story of how we did this project, coming out late this coming year.
