Has anyone grown Dean Slater's Gun Metal Gray? If so, is it a Dwarf and is it RL or PL?
Thank you!

I grew it last year, but I really don't remember, but my best guess is RL.I think I would have noticed if it was PL, as I don't grow many PL.

Is there any updated information on this variety and the correct characteristics? The photos I've seen are beautiful and I want seeds, but it seems like there might be a lot of variation.

There is a British instagram account and she grows it. I don't remmber if it is RL or PL but ahe may have photos of the plant or be able to answer that if not. I can ask and see if she will respond.

According to Dean Slater it is a bush type that's about 43" with large fruit. No mention of the foliage was made so I assume it's RL.

Bountyhunterseeds says RL, with some PL variants showing up.

I have now grown it and got both RL and PL. In my garden the RL was more productive. This tomato was 10 oz. It was not a Dwarf plant.
