Orange Roussollini review


So I grew this in 2016 and it was a cross, so I re-bought seeds and grew it again this year. The plant is short (3.5 - 4ft) bushy determinate. Produces profusely all at the same time. Cherries are around 1 to 1.25", grape shape. Unfortunately the taste is very bland, and texture is powdery similar to market tomatoes. Seems good to use in a crossing project, but otherwise I don't recommend growing.

I had to pick this Mega Marv early because of damage on the side. I let the plant goes multi-stem so the fruits weren't bigger, but I expect to get many one pounders. This is going to be a yearly stable for sure.

This one is 20oz.

I am posting a couple pictures of my tomatoes from a couple weeks age. The last few days of 98 to 100 deg temps have taken a toll. Hoping for cooler weather soon.

Don't know. I bought a pack of semi-rotten multicolored cherry tomatoes that were on sale in the supermarket last year, and saved the seeds. The violet ones in the middle are the source.

Lovely Lush Tomatoes are even cooler looking in person than in the pictures I see on the net.
