All plants came from the same seed packet from bobby-seeds. Looking back I should have kept seeds from the multiflora fruit.

I have no idea about the genetics, if these could be two strains, etc.

I'm attaching two photos. The one with the fruit is the regular plant and the huge blossom truss on the left in the second photo is the suspected multiflora plant.

I can only refer back to

http://t.tatianastomatobase.com:88/wiki/Goldkrone , where Vladimir himself entered the information and the photo put up at the long thread where he was showing pictures.

All I ever saw were long Flat Trusses,not the typical one stalk hundreds of blossoms multifloras that I've grown.

But it's entirely possible that what you saw with that one plant was the result of a somatic mutation.It happens, but rarely, and here's another example.

The link to the original Rose Quartz is given on the same link.

I had 2 "multiflora" plants out of 3, so it probably wasn't just a random mutation. This year I'm growing more seeds from that same packet, so I'm excited to see if I get multiflora again. If I do, I'll definitely keep track of it.

Inflorescence type (normal fertilization)
Observe the 2nd and 3rd truss of at least 10 plants
1.Generally uniparous
2.Both (partly uniparous partly multiparous)
3.Generally multiparous

According to me Godkrone belong to the second group. Indeed, under certain conditions (fertilization, weather, etc.) creates multiparous inflorescence.
Such is the lot of tomatoes, for example, a Czech variety Citrina (yellow fruit 75-80 g) or Radana (red pear).

Those are some impressive pictures!

Citrina looks great too. Is it a F1 or OP? Did you grow it? How is the taste?

I just remembered one I got from Ilex in Spain,I didn't grow it out here at home, but sent seeds to someone else and that person lost the plants to disease.

It's called 100 en Pom LL-51 and is a Colgar type.

I've grown Radana the last couple years and will do so again this year just to replenish seed stock. It is the only red cherry I grow. Even if it didn't taste good and produce so well I would still consider growing it for looks alone. When it loads up it really stands out in the garden. I agree with Vlad, that it probably is not a true multiflora.

A midseason indeterminate variety of salad tomato with pale to dark yellow fruits. The fruits are such as citric (lemon) fruits, fleshy, juicy pulp, less gel and seeds, weight around 75-85 g.
The flavor is good tomato flavor fairly sweet . The taste is good, moderately tomato, rather sweet.
I prefer red tomatoes with a stronger taste. Commercial OP variety..
