Agian , I mentioned bigger than some cherries. I have been growing a large cherry that was close to stupice in size.
One more thing , I don't know which strain have you guys been growing. On mine the fruits closer to the plant on a truss were bigger and at the end of truss they were just about cherry size, as I have shown in the first picture in my previous post.

I do not understand what is a large cherry.

Let me try to find a picture to demonstrate what a LARGE CHERRY tomato is.

In that basket of tomatoes there are :
--- Cherries >>>> Sun Gold
--- large cherries
--- 2 beef steak
--- and couple of either Matina

The definition of a cherry tomato is arbitrary and will likely vary from person to person. For me I'd say it is a tomato that I can comfortably pop in my mouth and eat in one bite. What is that? I'm not exactly sure. Practically, the Carbon Copy I grew this past year is where I'd put the upper end of cherry tomato size.

Vlad is on the thread so he can comment, but my recollection is that Moravsky Div is a Russian re-branding of CZ (Semo?) sourced Stupicke Polni Rane seeds, hence, you finding them the same is reasonable.

Your definition works for me, especially since it is practical. :-)

OMG I just realised Rutgers is a cherry tomato!

[MrBig46]

I'm sorry. I do not know what's OMG. I have never eaten Rutgers, but I suspect that what you wrote is perhaps amusing.

Hi Vladimír, Thank you for your post on the history of Stupické and Tamina earlier in this thread.
OMG = "Oh My God", generally used in USA conversations to indicate surprise. So with that said and the emotion icons Scott used, I think he was just playfully joking that he could eat a Rutgers tomato in one bite.
Thank you for all your posts Vladmir, I enjoy reading them all!

Thank you for the explanation. I misunderstood, therefore the answer from me. With the translation into Czech I have sometimes a problem. Also, I do not understand those smilies, I must ask my son in order to explain it to me.

PS.:Scott- next year I'll grow your favorite tomato Rutgers in order I could it finally taste

Need seeds? I have a few strains.

I just checked my 2015 SSE YEarbook and as usual there are EIGHT different strains listed.

Someone asked Linda Sapp at TGS what the difference was between Rutgers and Rutgers Improved, and she said two days.

The different strains have different disease tolerances bred in but are still OP, and some of the strains give different sources.

I grew Rutgers this year. It was productive and attractive, with perfectly-formed tomatoes. Unfortunately, I thought it tasted horrid fresh. (It tasted like store-bought) and it was no better when halved and cooked. I guess I'm not a fan of "old fashioned" tomato flavour .

Having grown several of those 8 strains Carolyn talks about above (and maybe some others too), I also have found a couple that do not taste good to me. Rutgers University claims none of them are the same as the original Rutgers strain, some not even Rutgers at all.

I found one like that called "Rutgers Red". It is clearly not Rutgers and tastes exactly like supermarket.

I'm waiting for the new Rutgers, which may be called "Rutgers 250", due out in January.

ps: There's a poll for the name, and it looks like it will be "Rutgers Ruby".
