Default Zap Cross

In 2015, I started a thread here about Zapotec tomatoes http://www.tomatoville.com/showthrea...hlight=Zapotec
I tentatively named them Zap Cross. That was in 2015.

I'm growing F4 this spring/summer. The tomatoes still look the same, same size, still produces both shaped fruits. I have not got a ripe one yet to compare taste, but the F2 and F3 tasted the same as the F1s did.

As I wrote in the thread above, I did not make the cross. I got the seeds from the 2014 MMMM swap. I'm still thinking Zapotec is one of the parents x ??? Being that there hasn't been any change from F1 through F4 - how many more generations do I need to grow them out before I can say they are a stable OP variety? They taste so good and it's fun seeing two different shaped fruits growing on the same plant.

I am not thinking of selling them or anything like that. After all, I'm not the one who made the cross - I'm just growing them out.
