Default Thinking about Melanie's Ballet

I see that Victory is going to be carrying DMB. But the photos make me wonder if it is truly a "paste" tomato, or one that has some similarities, but not really a paste -- like Amish Paste (IMO).The photos show a fairly bushy plant that might easily be from a DET paste plant. Difficult to tell too much from the small photos at Victory.



Any thoughts from the folks who developed it?

Dwarf Melanie's Ballet is not a dry paste tomato, but one that is more juicy.
The plant produces throughout the season . I think its a nice tomato.
Here is a picture on the tomatoes from 2016.

This is what I find for this variety at Mike Dunton's website.

https://www.victoryseeds.com/tomato_...es-ballet.html

Yes,the pictures are small at first so what you have to do is to click on the fruit and the result is a large whole page for it

Currently sold out and more info about where it came from,etc.

Thanks, Carolyn, but I've tried two browsers (Firefox and Chrome) and that doesn't work with either. What I get is a second image that is about 125% larger than the original. It is one of those "slide around" images that you see on Amazon to show more detail, but at Victory, it's still small.

My browser is AOL and has been since about 1982, yes, I'm that old.

For access to one site I used Mozilla/Firefox and all was well. My local computer Guru tried Chrome for something I can't remember what it was and got out of Chrome ASAP.

Carolyn, who used to use Amazon for books only, but then put up a thread here at TV asking for the best places to buy books and got some great responses,thank heavens.
