is this Dwarf Arctic Rose?

Dwarf Arctic Rose or one of the other dwarves?
I have a little doubt because of the color
it is loaded with big tomatoes, the one in the pic is 212 gr

+1!

I don't think so. My DAR plant is a lot shorter than all the other dwarfs that I am growing, and the fruit is pink.

Whatever yours is looks very productive and delicious!

That is definitely NOT Dwarf Arctic Rose. Maybe if you list all the dwarf project varieties you have, then we can narrow it down. Dwarf Arctic Rose should not get higher than about 24 to 30 inches tall. And it is definitely PINK.

Looks more like Tasmanian Chocolate to be honest.

I have another plant labelled Tasmanian Chocolate growing. But on that one no ripe fruits yet.

other reddish ones that I have are Wild Fred, Yukon Quest, Perth Pride, Rosella Purple (already tasted that one)

I think too it could be tasmanian chocolate
Plant is 80 cm high

It might be Wild Fred , Perth Pride should be darker, Yukon Quest is a real pink, Rosella should be more "purplish". But they look exactly like my Tasmanian Chocolates from last year.

Perth Pride tends to have green shoulders that support a green core. Let Perth Pride ripen until it looks like the tomato in the third picture. None of the pictures above have the kind of green shoulders I'm talking about.

Yukon Quest is so pink that it radiates pinkness. it is "soft rose petal pink".

Dwarf Wild Fred is more reddish and also can have some green shoulders.

Rosella Purple is also more reddish.

Of the ones you listed, it would have to be Tazmanian Chocolate.

Tasmanian Chocolate is my guess.
