Do you recognize this tomato?
If this is the wrong place for this question, please tell me and I'll delete. So... almost done finalizing my grow list. Trying to decide if I plant out this mystery that I found in my garden last year. It came from a commercial pack of 'black krim' but the others grown from the pack were all true to type. This little thing was quite different! If no one has seen this before, I'll grow out the seeds I saved just to see what it does. If it is an established type, I'd love to know what I got!
It *tastes* like a black krim - sweet, smokey, flavourful. It's rather early, and extremely prolific. Grew almost 10 feet and collapsed in several places despite careful staking and regular tying. 150-200 fruit easily on the one plant. I refer to it myself as baby krim or browncoat. In the pictures below it is seen with sungold, black cherry and blush, also zapotec pink pleated and white tomesol for scale. Every fruit was exactly the same size, perfectly uniform with no cracking or scaring, with the same number of locules, which makes me wonder if it was crossed with a cherry... What do YOU think it is? |
