MarNarF6 is very rich, balanced not sweet at all, lovely huge tomatoes, pretty nice production too. Can't remember, was that one of your seed requests from my offer? |

I would definitely not recommend Green Zebra... Because it tastes way to acidic to me. And I like acidic foods!

Fantastic feedback, thank you. I should clarify a little more. I am looking more for a tangy than tart tomato, so more balanced than say sour/tart. So it sounds like green zebra may not be to my liking. Looking for a tangy zing punch to an overall good tomato. I know clear as mud. Silvery Fur Tree sounds like another good option.

Most of early red fruited tomato varieties are acidic.

I'll put a kinda different thought out there--if you like cherries, try Sungold at the yellow stage. Depending on when you pick and eat them you can get quite different experiences. My least favorite stage (well aside from green) would be super-ripe, because they lose that unique tangy zip and are more just sweet to me.

I do also enjoy cherry and other smaller tomatoes, provided they are good. I was lucky enough to get some seeds for Rebel Yell from Marsha in the SASE she recently offered. Definitely would give Berkley tie die a shot as well. Thanks all, keep em coming.

if you are open to small tomatoes most of the currants I've tried fit what you're looking for.
