Not really; but I noticed that Trade Winds Fruit carries it. There's info there about it. If that's what you're looking for, scroll down the page. Lycopersicon melanocarpa

Hi Robin,
Thanks for the link.
A friend received a free seed packet from an order, so I am just curious as to some real growout reports.

I grew Lycopersicon melanocarpa in my 2006 garden. I had to consult my garden journal. It was indeterminate but smaller than some of my most vigorous varieties that year. It was regular leaf. It was a small, elongated fruit, about 2 ounces average, red with yellow stripes. I really could not tell much difference in taste from a regular garden tomato!

I did write that I wanted to grow it again. It must not have been with much conviction because I haven't grown it again. But you know...so many varieties, so little time!
