This breeding population is the F3 generation from an initial cross of a Mexico Midget (indeterminate pimp tiny cherry) and a Summertime Greeen (dwarfing 1-pound green flesh) that has be selected for dwarfing plants, red-deep flesh and small fruit size. This webinar will go over basic tomato breeding biology, provide a background on the Dwarf Tomato Project and delve into what Citizen Seed Trial participants can expect in their 2020 trial tomato crop! There will be a Q & A period at the end with Craig, and CST participants are welcomed to stay past 1pm to ask further questions. Everyone is welcome to attend!
