Himber Rose tomato

[GunnarSK]

Returning to the topic, there is also a variety called Schlesische Himbeere (Silesian Raspberry) sold in Germany: http://www.irinas-shop.de/tomate-sch...ere-p-350.html.

I also have this:

Not sure if these are related, but they are also pink.
I think 'himbeere' means 'raspberry' (color?) in German, but I am not 100% sure.

The others varieties that I have little or no info on are Anchka and Trska Gora; since my previous post I found some information on Blue River which I was also searching for info on.

I only know that Geza got the Anchka and Trska Gora seed from Romania, and that Trska Gora is large and ribbed. Geza did not give me any more information about these varieties.

Gunnar, thank you for the link! I did not find this before.

Trska Gora is definitely south Slavic, so the best may be to ask Iva or another of the people from Slovenia (who post here).

Trška gora is a large hill near the town I live in (Novo mesto). So, that tomato was probably grown here and named after Trška gora.

Ančka (chk is just a way foreigners spell 'č', which is a letter of our alphabet along with 'š' and 'ž') is a large pink beefsteak with potato leaves similar to Brandywine (not related to Brandywine though). I'll find the thread in our forum about this one and stick it here...

[Tania]

Iva,

Thank you for the invaluable information!

Tania, I stand corrected. I've read the thread about Ančka and it is a compact indeterminate plant (110-150cm tall), has huge potato leaves (20 cm long) and red fruits...

Photos and info courtesy of Labia from Slovenia:





Seeds were obtained from a lady in the 'Bela krajina' region of Slovenia, where it was grown for many years and always referred to as 'domač paradižnik' (homegrown tomato).

The fruits are red, large, meaty and juicy with thin skin,. The texture is creamy and melts in the mouth. It is not suitable for salad use as it breaks down easily. The fruits are soft and over ripen quick. The flavor is very sweet, has almost no acid.

The plant seems to be somewhat disease resistant. Bears fruits quite early.
Some more pics of the leaves:

sorry I hit wrong button; see next post

This is a small plant 24-30 inches high (hard to see that from the photo angle). So would be a good container plant or hanging plant as suggested above..

Greg, may I correct the misspelling of this name - it is "Himbeerrose" with double "e" and written in one word. Hope you don't mind. clara

[kygreg]

Glad to have some one correct a spelling or name error or for that matter any kind of error; I spelled it the way the seed sender had it. Thanks Clara.

[kygreg]

Clara, notice the spelling

Well done, Greg! Do you like the taste? If you would like to try other varieties for hanging baskets, please send me a PM. I have red, pink, orange and yellow ones and all are quite early - important for me for the first bowl of salad! clara
