'Campari' copycat variety

PaulF · August 18, 2011

I am growing Mountain Magic this year. Since during the winter months we d like a tomato now and then, Campari became the choice. Mountain Magic for me has been a producer of a tremendous number of rather small round red fruits with thick skins and not much flavor. Mountain Magic is not a cherry size and not in what I call a "salad tomato size" either. The commercial Campari is easily twice the size of my MM. Both have similar looking clusters but I pick the MM individually since I am not trying to market them. I know there are other tomatoes in the Mountain series. Perhaps one of them would be closer to Campari.
