You're looking at the freshly pollinated pistil of Micro-Tina, pollinated with grains from Dwarf Johnson's Cherry. If the pollination is successful, I will grow this out and see if we can find a better micro dwarf that exhibits slightly larger plant size, larger fruit, much better disease resistance, while retaining the excellent flavor of Micro-Tina.

DJC is an exceptional tomato. It performs better than almost all others in our Texas summer heat. It's dwarf, has very sweet fruit, and has high disease resistance (thanks to being bred from the "wild" Everglades tomato). I hope the cross takes; if not I'll try again with future flowers.
