Are all rugose tomatoes dwarfs/micros? I ask because I don't think I've ever seen one that wasn't, but it seems like an attractive leaf-type for tomatoes generally.

My understanding is that the gene that causes the leaves to fold and wrinkle like that, also causes the stems to be compacted and "wrinkled" in a matter of speaking.

So, all Rugose leaves are on a dwarfed type plant.
