Green When Ripe (GWR) Tomatoes...

[NarnianGarden]

I saw a new Russian GWR commercial variety. 'Antonovka Medovaya' (or, Antonovka Honey)
Has anyone had the opportunity to try it yet? Maybe it's a so new it's only hit the market now..

Green Tiger was the best of all the greens I've grown, super fruity, prone to splitting after rain though.
The next best was a big green cherry, Emerald, I got from Tania. Huge plants with fruit size like those of Mountain Magic. Thin skin but also easy to split and can not be squished.
Malachite box was good I now grow every year.
Green Zebra was sour and mushy. Cherokee Green had many deformed fruit the one time I tried it. Lime Green salad was very productive, but taste too bland. We do not have intense summer heat to bring out the best flavors for many varieties.

WOW... Almost 4 whole pages and not one mention of Spears Tennessee Green my wife's favorite so i'm growing about 5 to 6 plants so if everything comes out alright i'll have some seeds to share at the end of the season if y'all like.

A friend of mine who grows a lot of tomatoes absolutely loves Green Tiger (as seen at BC), and also loves Aunt Ruby's German Green.

Although Green Giant is one of my favorite-tasting tomatoes, I should note that mine in 2015 tasted a *lot* better with more sun (and they were prone to concentric cracking when they became ripe).

I can't remember all the GWripes I've grown but yes I have grown the Spears one when you reminded me of it.

Its a pretty one, my current avatar pic. I still owe you seeds for Verde Claro if you are interested Cole. The best tasting GWR cherry I've tried. Bought fresh seeds from Tatiana this spring and have about 6 plants going in my garden.

I have one plant of Green Doctor's Frosted going right now. I really like it, flavor-wise. Is Verde Claro similar?

Bicolor GWR is my only favorite so far.
I grow Ananas Noire which looks like identical twin to Captain Lucky.

I am also growing Green Copia, which also a bicolor GWR. Last year in PNW it turned out a mule. So did couple of others. But this year it has flowers already.

I think if you like AN you may prefer captain lucky. I found it earlier by a fair bit and it is PL. flavour is excellent.

Thanks for the suggestion, Karen.
I might try CL next year. But I love the flavor of AN.

I think Green Copia is the variety I had with a lost tag that I was calling Dark & Blotchy. Thank you so much for posting that pic! Here is my mystery tomato:
