Adelia tomato

[elkwc36]

I have searched and not found much on this tomato. It was recommended to me by a KS. heirloom/op grower/dealer. I have some ordered that is being germination tested now. She said it performed well here in western KS. But nothing about taste. Saw it on one of Craigs lists I found in a search so know it must be good. Any information would be appreciated. She also recommended Rose Beauty, Santorini, Super Sioux, and Manalucie for this area. Have them all ordered also. Found more infomation on them. JD

Craig mentioned it in a positive light here.

Feldon that is the only place I found it except for on a few want lists. And only the one supplier. I will know in a year. Think I have about all my 2007 seed either on hand or ordered. Sure I will add one or two. She said this was the best producer here in KS the last two years for her. And said good taste. So hopefully will have seeds next year for any that wants to try it. I'm at about 30 varieties for next year. JD

I am growing it again next year. It was in the tray of seedlings I lost last spring...I am looking forward to it too.
It is in number 1 position of my next years growout.

Jeanne,
Have you ever tasted it? I could only find one source for the seed and that was Skyfire Seeds from KS. It will have a prime spot in mine. I'm planting in isolated so I can save seeds. Best of luck on yours and we will have to compare results. JD

JD, My source is Skyfire seeds also. I had ordered it, because I had heard nothing about it, but since have heard good.
I tend to try varieities that don't make anybody's list....hoping for a little known good tomato...that does backfire on occasion, so hoping this one is good.
