I finally got Budai Torpe from members in Europe back a few years ago and have offered it on Heritage Seed Market. By itself, it is a great tasting small dwarf that is fairly close in appearance to Arctic Rose. If you grow it, enjoy the fruit as well as the intentional crosses you can make and get the dwarfism you may be looking for. Treat it as a full flavored old fashioned with a great small touch of added sweetness.

I've done a couple of crosses with it, but I'm looking for non-dwarf indeterminates. I'll do a couple more this year with some of the ones (non dwarf) that I have been growing out from Craig's group of crosses - Hearty and Morty.

BTW, Black Bear that you sent to me last year were "Outstanding". That one might make a good candidate for a cross with Budai Torpe.

When I said flexible ...I mean flexible in container size as well I tried
Budai torpe in 2 3 5 7 gallon containers ….and was soooo impressed with
the flexibility and health of the plants in general . Very very nice plant .

I am still interested in dwarf Indeterminates resulting from this Great variety Budai Torpe.
Maybe next year I will add Sean's yellow Dwarf to my selections for 2021.

also for me the Black Bear tomato was ridiculous prolific ...but some cracks when others did not ….I did not grow it last year ...but will grow it this year .

I grew "Budai Torpe" many years. It is an old Hungarian sort. I love the old Hungarians. They are so resistant, bush types an they are breded against viruses.
but - the centres are closed...I am so sad about this.
I have a big collection of old Hungarien sorts. In my 2020 season I will grow 1 new one.
More space and power I don't have.
