tomato bought in venice italy, forgot the name...

Maybe someone of you recognises this tomato :

it has a firm bite and melon'ny taste, and they are a bit squared (I damaged the tips a bit when they fell of our babywagon : babywagons are not a good idea in Venice with its 400 stepped-bridges btw

I saved the seeds and will try them anyway to see what comes from them - even when the remain anonymous, if they taste the same they are welcome in my garden...

It could be one of hundreds (if not thousands) of plum/oxheart varieties.

Some varieties like this that I like: Prue, Tony's Italian, Sarnowski's Polish Plum, none of which you'll find in a seed catalog.

Can I ask what a babywagon is? Is that a stroller?

stroller yes, that's the word we are after ;-)

It looks like the San Marzano Redorta (heirloom from Tuscany), but I bet there are a lot of others who looks like that also. Good luck with growing it out!
