2016 Midwest Tomato Trials

[Scooty]

We have more ripe Sweet Sue and the Brix is going up. This is a bit closer to what I imagined. It's still not the super sickly sweet that I was expecting like the Summer Sunrise turned out to be.

Sweet Sue
7.2-7.4 Brix

Wherokowhai
6.7 Brix
4.3 PH

Blazing Beauty
6.4 Brix
4.12 PH

I didn't like Wherokohai as much as I liked its parent Russian Swirl. For us at least, Wherokowhai is on average half the size, more tart, and lacks the same crunch texture as Russian Swirl. Russian Swirl comes in as a very mild sweet with almost no tartness. Wherokowhai is sweet but tart at the same time.

Blazing Beauty tastes better to me than London Lass, but I prefer Coastal Pride Orange more then either. It's more mellow but also less tart.

Again these are first batch or cluster of fruits, so its possible that the flavor changes a bit as the season goes on. We're hitting towards the end of some of the dwarfs and a few have gotten a tad sweeter. London Lass was previously 5.3 Brix and 4.09 PH. It's up to 5.5-5.6 Brix now.
