Orlov's Yellow

Raymondo · January 14, 2008

Or is it Orlov Yellow? Anyway, I grew what I thought was Orlov's Yellow last year. It was indeterminate, regular leafed and produced an abundance of clear yellow egg-sized oval-shaped fruit. I can't find my seed so I went Googling for a source. I found two, Seedfest and Tomatofest, but the pictures on their web sites don't match what I grew. The former shows an almost perfect yellow globe and the latter a golden yellow beefsteak type and, moreover, claims that the plant is potato-leafed!
So, did I in fact have Orlov's Yellow or did I grow an imposter? If an imposter, which of the two above is the real deal? And what did I have?
