Dwarf Sweet Sue

[Greatgardens]

This is my first time growing this one, and it is doing beautifully in an EarthBox (single plant). Currently about 4' tall, but unfortunately it has only one tomato on it. It has had many flowers, and we've had good temperatures, but only one has set thus far. I've grown mid-season dwarfs previously, but don't recall this lack of fruit set, even with varieties that can produce large tomatoes. Is this common with Sweet Sue? Maybe it will come on later in the season? Just curious, since it is quite uncommon in my experience.

I think I have always had mine in the ground, but it has been a good producer for me. Very nice flavor for a yellow! I'll check later when I go outside, and see what the set currently is like.

It did well for me. I gave some plants to a family friend, and the squirrels kept picking them and running away with the entire tomato.

Whoops!  Was surprised to not find it in my row of dwarfs, then remembered that I swapped it out this year to try Sarandipity, which I had not grown before. Guess I forgot which dwarf I had to drop for this year, but it will be back for sure.

Pressure's off! Sweet Sue has 6 babies now.

I guess it just takes a little more time with this one. They are beautiful, beefsteak-type tomatoes. (No weird shapes to be seen.) Some of the best-looking tomatoes I've seen from a large-fruited dwarf. No BER (yay!), although good-sized blossom-end scars. The plant is very healthy with large potato leaves. May be too pretty to eat!
