I received this in a trade. It is setting fruit in trusses of 6 or more tomatoes. Is this Paul Robeson, or do I have a cross?

I'm growing PR this year and I got my seeds from Tomatofest. They too are growing in trusses of 6 or so tomatoes. I'd say on that basis you are still good to go with PR.

Do you need to tie up the trusses?

Not at this point. Yours are further along than mine. They are supposed to grow to 4" size, so 6 on a truss might need support.

Perhaps it is a bit too early to tell, but the fruit shape does not look right - it is too round. But maybe fruits are still too small...

I have some pictures of immature fruits of Paul Robeson here: http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Paul_Robeson
