Tomato Swoon
I'm looking for information about tomato Swoon. The best would be a photo of a ripe fetus.

Swoon - indeterminate, PL, pink, heart, 1 pound+, superb flavor (in my garden).
It originated with me. It's from a PL plant of Granny's Heart that showed up in a T'ville member's garden, from whom I requested seeds. I usually release "varieties" at about F5 or F6, only if I have no off-types showing up. Someone I sent seed to had a RL plant show up, last year. |

Tormato, how productive is Swoon in your garden?
If others have grown Swoon, please share your results. Steve |

Swoon's production is about average for hearts, in my garden. But, large hearts generally produce a bit less than most large beefsteaks.
That doesn't bother me, as I have room for about 200 plants, if I wish. For really, really great tasting tomatoes, just 1 fruit on a plant is OK with me. Anything more is a bonus. And, for the really, really great tasting varieties, I usually have more than 1 plant of each. |

I love Tormato's Swoon. I got both the RL and PL version last year. In my garden Swoon was super productive. Better than most other hearts in fact. Tormato has a winner here. Smooth sweet taste and meaty flesh.

Heide, don't you have a photo? I'm looking for Swoon among my eighty other varieties (I have a lot of hearts PL and RL) and somehow I have to identify the variety.

Ok Vladimir- here is a pic of both versions with their respective leaves.
Both versions were productive. Heide |

Heide thank you. I already found Swoon. The only big pink heart with PL. I didn't sow other pink. It tastes great.

Beautiful Vladimir! I am glad you found it and like the taste...its an excellent tomato from Tormato! . Are there any Eastern European tomatoes similar to this-hearts especially, that you particularly like that I could search out?
