Bred by Blane Horton of Mississippi as a cross between Dwarf Wild Fred and H-28 tomatoes, this variety is a proud member of the collaborative Dwarf Tomato Project, a citizen-science breeding effort dedicated to developing compact plants with full-sized heirloom flavor. The plant grows to a compact 3–4 feet tall, making it ideal for containers or raised beds, and features an indeterminate growth habit with attractive regular rugosa foliage that adds texture and beauty even before fruiting begins. The medium-sized fruits have a coppery orange-brown hue, often streaked with deep green and kissed with a metallic sheen — truly unlike anything else in the garden. Fruits range from 2–5 oz with a juicy, mild, well-balanced taste, and deliver a rich, smoky-sweet flavor with just enough tang to keep things interesting. A mid-to-late season variety, Copperhead is excellent for salads, fresh eating, or slicing for sandwiches, and its compact size means even gardeners with limited space can grow something truly extraordinary. Non-GMO and open-pollinated, these seeds are a fantastic addition to any heirloom seed collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTomato Characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDwarf Indeterminate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor: \u003c\/strong\u003ecoppery orange-brown hue, often streaked with deep green\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e smoky-sweet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAverage fruit size: \u003c\/strong\u003epear shape tomato\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal Growing Conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eSun:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e Full sun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eWater: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eKeep soil consistenly moist but not waterlogged\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eFertilizer:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e Regular applications of an organic granular fertilizer, like \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3MLvQSl\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEspoma Tomato-Tone\u003c\/a\u003e greatly increase production.

Repeat every 3 to 5 days until you notice the spread has stopped. If a lot of rain is expected, pre-treatment will help to prevent diseases.
