Loxton Lad Tomato

Loxton Lad

70 days, dwarf — The vigorous, productive, rugose, regular leaf dwarf plants produce smooth, orange, oblate-shaped fruit that range between six to sixteen ounces in weight, with a well-balanced, delicious flavor. The fruit sizes of ‘Loxton Lad’ are generally larger than its cousin, ‘Loxton Lass‘.

This “Dwarf Tomato Project” variety originated with a cross between ‘Rosella Purple‘ and ‘Orange Heirloom‘ made by Patrina Nuske Small in 2009 and named “Rosy.” ‘Loxton Lad’ was selected from this family and named by Patrina after a country town in a citrus growing river land region in South Australia. Involved in the development were Patrina, Doug Frank, Shawn Conant, Patrick Sullivan, Craig LeHoullier and Bill Minkey. Introduced for the 2016 gardening season. Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds.
