Overview

Lemon Ice is a dwarf tomato from the Dwarf Tomato Project, released under the Open Source Seed Initiative pledge. The tree-type dwarf plant is indeterminate in habit but stays short and stout, and it bears heavy yields of heart-shaped, pale yellow fruit of four to six ounces with clear skin and yellow flesh. It came from a stabilized selection of the Nosey family (Roza Vetrov crossed with Anna Banana Russian) that Patrina Nuske Small produced, with final selection and naming by Linda Black of California. Early, about 58 days from transplant, and a good fit for containers.
