This very large fruit is a mid-late season one. Rl vines that grow very long. Production low for me because the blossoms didn't set in the heat. Hoping that now that it's cooled off I will see more, it has quite a bit of new growth. Beautiful old fashioned somewhat low acid flavor. 7/10

Cut fruit- thank you so much Ella for the seeds.

Sure is nice seeing these pictures! A good way to wake up with a hot cup of coffee on a -6F morning.

Just noting that there's also a Hillbilly PL which I like even better than the RL

And the reason I remember it so well is b'c I was proofing the tomato sectionof the SSE public catalog and had been credit for it, which was wrong. So I had to go through a lot of past SSE YEarbooks to find out who did first list it, and it was Bosner, and they corrected that.

It brings to mind the two German Johnson ones where one is RL and one PL, that were and still are prominent in the south. Seems to me to be reasonable that a mutation from RL to PL led to the PL one being grown in certain areas, that suggestion not unique to me, and the mutationof a PL one back to RL did the same.

A big dollop of sunshine that inspired me to order a small poly greenhouse this morning. Very nice and thank you.

Claude Brown's sure looks and sounds high on the yum scale.

Striking Chartreuse foliage on this one, rugose keaves but not very dwarf in size- maybe 5.5 feet tall. Lots of blossoms, not much fruit, and whatever fruit I was getting was stolen by a critter. I picked a couple at mature green and let them ripen on the counter. Foliage photo first, BTW- we are having a windstorm today.

The fruit is stunning and tastes very good, balanced on the acid side. Look at those stripes!
