I grew 46 plants this year and made single plant selections for best flavor and consistent fruit shape/size. I'm still getting quite a bit of segregation for fruit shape which indicates the fruit pictured above were heterozygous for at least 2 shape genes.

I'd like to know as well. Any time fruit simply almost can NOT make it into the house is a darn good indicator!!

Thought I'd ask one more time, since I haven't checked in for a while. Is Sunlucky still in the works? It's a cross that really captured my toma-gination a few years ago, and each planting season I wonder...

I have seed, but due to my agreement with Keith Mueller, I can't distribute. If he chooses, he may release it at a future date. This is one of the most frustrating tomatoes I've ever grown. It took 9 years of growing to finally get something that is stable for high sweetness and not overly susceptible to cracking.
