It originated from a cross between Golden Dwarf Champion and Orange Russian #117 made by Patrina Nuske Small in 2005 and named as Dopey. Later selected and named by Craig LeHoullier as Dwarf Russian Swirl. Released in 2015 as F8. It is a stable variety now.

7. Flavor Profile: A pleasant sweet taste with a bright spicy tomato flavor. The flesh is buttery and juicy.

8. Culinary Use: A good choice for tasty and rich salads. Also perfect for juices and sauces. Do not keep well as the fruits get too soft. The skin can have cracks so it is recommended to avoid heavy watering.
