The old mystery tomato

coYote · August 4, 2020

I'm usually pretty good about labeling my tomatoes, but this one seems to have escaped said label. In addition I can't find anything that I've ever ordered or grown that is the size and shape of this tomato (about 3inchs long and the shape of a grape tom). So if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. I realize that it should be easier to identify once they mature and get more color so I'll try and post an update.

Shape looks like "cafe bule" ripens to red.

I don't know what it might be, but while the pear shape is similar to cafe bule, the 3" size is not like the ones I grew, which were much smaller than that.

The only tomato I've ever seen with that shape: yellow pear!

thanks for the responses

yes, the combination of size and shape is not like anything I'm familiar with...they should be changing color soon so that should give some clues
