De-hybridized tomatos

silverseed · June 30, 2015

Can anyone please help me and name some of the good open pollinated versions of these older hybrids. I have been searching the Seed Savers Catalog and the internet but not coming up with very much. I would love to get seed from some of these and grow them out next year and see how they compare with their hybrid counterparts. I'm thinking if I could get seed from some of these varities such as Ramapo for example that Carolyn said was spot on the hybrid then it might be a best of both worlds kind of thing, If they have the good qualities of the hybrid, Why not. If anyone would know it would be the members on here I'm thinking. Help please.
