I've got Clackamas coming from Tom, I didn't grow that one last year but it's in the lineup for this year.
I've got a red fleshed sibling line to the GWR pictured above that was equally dark and was fairly sweet. Unfortunately those were ones that I tried to squeeze in two generations in one short season, so I don't have a feeling as to how productive it might be and I only got a few ripe fruit. And they're only going to be F3 this year. Decisions, decisions. Last edited by Boutique Tomatoes; January 24, 2013 at 03:29 PM. Reason: Clarification as to flesh color of sibling |

The GWR antho was exciting to find. They were so dark I did not know what the flesh color was going to be until I sliced one. We'll see what comes of it next season, but if nothing else it may be a useful parent for future crosses. |

Hi Mark,
Just a note on Carolina gold. When we grew out here it was the most productive determinant in harvest-able fruit...It has very nice skin with a lack of microcracking which is a big boon for us here in Hawaii. Withstood very heavy rains until the LB came around. So if you can incorporate these fantastic qualities with some extra features I think you will have a winner! |

I've heard very positive things about it, and BHN-871 is supposed to be similar but has a few more resistance factors with it. My intention is to cross them with something with late blight resistance, perhaps Skykomish and see what shakes out.
