Tegucigalpa Paste tomato and hybrid seed

**Tom Wagner** · September 9, 2013

I made a cross between Tegucigalpa and Blush for some F-1 hybrid seed. I am sending some seed to Hawaii to get test results for it as a hybrid and also to get the F-2 seed to make new varieties eventually from it

. I understand from my friend Taryn that it was originally from Honduras. She bought the seed primarily because she knew I was looking for varieties that might work in nearby Belize...where I had sent dozens of hybrids a year ago. The Tegucigalpa turned out to be a very pretty tomato...about one inch wide and nearly 3 inches long. My hybrid name for this cross is tentatively called Tegucigalpa Blush, however I may use that name for a selected segregate in the F-2 - F-3 generation. Naturally I would be saving the shape of Tegucigalpa and the color/flavor of Blush.

I am sending two seed to her in case she could grow the hybrid next year for me and post about it.
