Default Cluster tomatoes ?

I guess most of you have seen "cluster" tomatoes in your local supermarket. A number of tomatoes still attached to/by the vine. Much better than the normal supermarket tomato.

Does anyone know tomatoes these are ?

Thanks

Its a hydroponic commercial tomato. I see them in my supermarket as well. As far as the specific type it varies. Here is a link to why they do it. http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/e..._is_money.html

If you want an excellent non-hybrid cluster variety, take a look at Bulgarian Triumph.

This one will make an appearance in my garden either this fall or next spring. I've read so many posts about it that I can't pass it up.
