I have RAF germinating, so I'll think of the parent as I'm eating the children. Thanks for the suggestion Vladimir.

Vladimir, glad to see you are back from the races and vacation so now I can send you the list of varieties that Ilex sent to me that I promised I would send.

He says the original that led to Kumato is Negro de Olmeda,and those seeds are on the list. And not only does Ilex say that but everything I've read about Kumato says the same before Syngenta got their hands on it..

Good luck with RAF, should be interesting and here's Tania's page for it from you.

I confess that I originally read RAF as Ras, which I grew many years ago and would never grow again.

If you like tangy toms I agree with the suggestion for Silvery Fir Tree. Fairly short bushy growth with pretty big toms and plenty of them! The rub is its too tangy for most, but, not for me!

I second .
I like tangy taste better than some that are neither acidic nor sweet.
I have two SFT in 4 gallon pots. They were the earliest and productive. The foliage adds an ornamental feature to it too.
