Thank you again for your generosity in sharing these, Marsha! The plants I grew out from your offer last year were fabulous!

My favorite benefactor from across, way across, the pond has an abundance of PBTD, Sakharnyi Pud. and Margaret Curtain, grown from my seeds last year, which he is sending me to add to this offer. I took these off the limited list.He is growing now too, down under. Hee!

Our good friend Patihum is sending me seeds of Cherokee Tiger Black Plum, with the gorgeous chartreuse foliage, so that is on the list now.

Three of the undescribed tomatoes:

Dwarf Red Heart: Discovered 2006 in a patch of 20 dwarf plants I grew from a pack of mixed dwarf seeds sent from Long Island Seed Project where Kent Ettlinger had grown out several colors of Dwarf Champion types, all round, mixed GWR, yellow, red, and pink.
The one plant was an off type that gave one ounce, conical bullet shaped, red tomatoes; but after growing it out for a couple more seasons, the tomatoes got longer, stayed pointed and red, but the short bush became a bit taller, maybe 2 1/2 feet tall and appearing more like a rugose plant with sauce tomatoes.
I sent some seeds to Dan McMurray who got the most attractive fruit shape, long, pointed, fat cones on a dwarf plant; and I hope that is the line that has been perpetuated as Dwarf Red Heart.

Not Purple Strawberry is one of the most delicious tomatoes you can grow. It originated in Brazos River Valley as a cross between Cherokee Purple and German Red Strawberry, where the intention was to get a purple strawberry shaped heart tomato. Instead, the fruit reverted to a extra large, flattened globe beefsteak with tender skin, short shelf life, and wonderful flavor.
Susan Anderson sent seeds for NPS to a few people, and I have attempted to spread it far and wide as it is an excellent tomato in terms of texture and flavor.

Texwine is a line of extra large, late season, red beefsteak tomatoes of excellent flavor, compact indeterminate growth, and good hotset ability, bred from Brandywine x Neves Azorean Red. I sent F2 seeds to Susan Anderson in Elgin Texas, and she returned F3 and F4 seeds from which I attempted to stabilize the regular leaf, red tomato line. However, the best vines I kept seeds from apparently were still unstable for potato leaf foliage, and an occasional PL seedling will pop up.

Travis,
Is Texwine related to or the same thing as Dixiewine?

Yes, Dixiewine and Texwine are sister lines segregated totally independently of one another and each recobined with distinctly varying vine growth habits , fruit shapes, and maturity dates.

Both are red indterminate, regular leaf, but have other different attributes.

[Al@NC]

Thanks! It probably wouldn't do so great up here in the PNW with my cold nights...

[Redbaron]

So now what? I followed the instructions exactly and now new varieties and information is added? I have my 10 as requested, but obviously I should have picked texwine considering my location. Also Cherokee Tiger Black Plum sounds interesting.

[ginger2778]

I am gone until Tuesday. I just have a smartphone to work with. Will answer everyone's pms when I get back to a real computer. So there is time to change your list, but be sure to include whole list in the new pm. Still only 10 max though.
Right now I am monitoring the thread and pms.
