Chocolate Champion Tomato

Chocolate Champion

70 days, dwarf — ‘Chocolate Champion’ is a rugose, regular leaf dwarf type plant that produces lots of small to medium (two to six ounce), oblate fruit that are red with chocolate-brown shoulders. The flavor is nicely balanced and very tasty. Both appearance and flavor resemble ‘Cherokee Chocolate‘.

Developed by members of the “Dwarf Tomato Project” from a cross between ‘Golden Dwarf Champion‘ and ‘Cherokee Chocolate‘.  ‘Chocolate Champion’ is the result of the collaborative work of Patrina Nuske Small, Ray South (who named it), David Lockwood, Denise Bath, Bill Yoder, Mark Gladney, Ruth TenBrink, Craig LeHoullier and Bill Minkey. It was introduced in 2014. Each packet contains 10 seeds.
