Large Aemer tomato

[clkingtx]

Anyone heard of this variety? I got it from a person on Facebook a few years ago. I was told it was a green when ripe large plum shaped tomato. I haven't grown it out yet, and can't seem to find mention of it anywhere online.

I have been trying to research this variety, and as soon as I post about it I find something. Looks intriguing! Gorgeous tomato. I only have 3 seeds, so hopefully I can get one to grow!

Tania doesn't list it and a Google search doesn't bring up anything useful. Your link does describe it and show a picture and that picture is the same or similar to one that I did once know.

I think the name Aemer might be Welsh and it is Tom Wagner who named many of his varieties with Welsh names,perhaps someone else here knows what I'm talking about.

Summary?I don't think it's a new variety at all but would have to confirm that by doing a lot of searching.I also noted the reference to Opalka in the Polish link and that's a variety I introduced,but why was it called a beefsteak,the striped one,when it's not.

Sheesh, the real name of that variety is on the tip of my tongue right now, so maybe I will remember it.Something about Tom Wagner sending seeds to Kees Sahin in Holland and someone sniched fruits and it ended up being offered in Sweden.

Well, that link looks more like a cucumber than a tomato. Carolyn, help us stop the pain of trying to imagine this thing as a tomato.

Dang, it really does look like an over-ripe cucumber.

Ted,if someone showed the leaves that go with that fruit I think all of us could solve the problem.

And this is the variety I remembered and is an absolute lookalike for the one being discussed.

Lange Aermer has been sold--and possibly still is being sold by doublehelixfarms.
Pretty, striped sausage tomato nice for salsa.

Here's some info "from the horses mouth" - Tom Wagner's tatermater.★★★★★★★★★.com:

"This variety came about through the segregations of a cross between my original version of GREEN SLEEVES and BRANDY STRIPES. I was trying to get a version of GREEN SLEEVES with an indeterminate growth habit and 6 inch long fruits...green with green stripes. This selection did not have potato leaves nor woolly pubescence.

Trying to type Æ is troublesome but here is the key to do that as below...holding down the alt key and typing 0198 and release.

ALT+0230 = æ
ALT+0198 = Æ"

The correct spelling, Lange Ærmer, means "long arms" in Danish.

YES!!!!!!!

In the early 90's I trialed 22 varieties for Tom and this one, I think he was calling it Green Sausage at the time,my data books for back then are nowhere to be found.

I grew several plants of it,inground, and speaking to those above,I never had BER at all.

I haven't posted in that BER thread,but BER has so many variables as to its induction,that a variety that has it one year will not have it the nex year at all.

Thanks Steve,
