Cross question

[Angelo Dorny]

Hello

From this year on, i have my one tomato variety.
It's a yellow cherry tomato that grows 2 meter high and gives fruits like grapes.
I can eat 3 to 4 kg of 1 plant!
The taste is very sweet...
But now i have some questions:
First, how can i release the tomato variety?
What's the procedure for that?
And do you guys have some ideas for a name?

Kind regards and sorry if the message is not so clear....
Angelo

how about yellow angel?

Angelo,

Gele zon België sounds classy.

Translated loosely as the Yellow Sun of Belgium

1. Releasing a variety can be complicated, simple, or just a confliction of wishes and outcomes.
2. Just exchange seed with people with nothing more than a name such as Gele zon België.
3. Start your own website for exchanges and/or sales.
4. Offer to local seed companies for them to trial and list potentially.
5. Ask for royalties if picked up by a cooperative seedsman.
6. Seek PVP if you have thousands of dollars not needed for the near or ever future.
7. You are in Belgium, so contact seed people in Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, France, and or Luxembourg.
8. All the large companies in the breeding sector that manage genetic resources for their own breeding programs have a strong international orientation. The activities in these companies, and thus the choices concerning maintaining or discarding genetic resources, are strongly driven by the companies' international interests, and not yours, sadly.
   
9. De soort beschouwt en droevig indien het bericht niet zo is, klaar op. Tom Wagner

Good looking cluster. They look more gold
than yellow to me, but that could be the
lighting in the picture.

Perhaps "Gold Doubloon"?

(Like the old Spanish doubloons, a gold coin
from the era when tomatoes were first brought
to Europe from the New World on tall ships.)

[Angelo Dorny]

Hello,

Yes, when they are ready to eat , than they are yellow.
But gold is also possible.
The picture is a little bit dark.
Gold Doubloon looks very nice to me
Kind regards from Belgium

Angelo,
I know you want an English name for your tomato, but I couldn't pass up these old style Flemish naming conventions. I took a lot of liberties to hybridize the names with yellow, sun and Belgium. My apologies if I have butchered your language in any way. Tom

Hi Tom,
I just wondered, where did you get these old flemish words, (they must be old because I don't know over half of them).
Angelo, nice looking tomato. I do think you should give it an English name, using a Flemish name will lead to all sort of translations, English, French,.. and the confusion begins all over again,

orflo,

I just wondered, where did you get these old flemish words, (they must be old because I don't know over half of them).

I like old languages, my paternal grandfather spoke some of his ancestral Luxembourgisch, and my maternal spoke Manx. Because old Flemish is eerily similar to Luxembourgish, I was naturally drawn to the older words and spellings and thus, the natural affinity. Grandfathers have huge influences on a grandson. Mine were constantly hybridizing old country words with English, much to my then confusion, but later cherishment.

My final choice for a suggestion to the naming of
Angelo's tomato is as follows, first in Luxembourgisch and then English.

d'Fräiheetssonn or Freedom's Sun

[feldon30]

I would absolutely use a distinctive name. Not "Sweet Yellow", etc. For instance "Isis Candy" is a very distinctive name. I will never forget it. Also Jaune Flamme (yellow flame).

[re: "Gold Doubloon"]

There seems to already (or almost already, I
don't know what generation it is) a "Doubloon"
cultivar:

Perhaps you could get together via email and flip
a coin as to who keeps the name.

Alternate possibilities: Inca Gold, Treasure Chest, Gold Coin,
Gold Sovereign, etc.
