Micros, 12 inches or less I usually start and finish indoors. My holy grail mini-dwarf plant is a good tasting, true orange window box roma! Jan
I have some F3 seed from an F2 plant that was very healthy and only reached 7" in height. It produced 12-15 fruit that were red and about the size of a large cherry tomato. Based on its pedigree, there is a 67% chance that some of the F3s will be yellow. I have some of these F3s growing now, but it is too early to know if they will stay that small.

I could send you a few if you wanted......
