Anyone ever tried crossing SFT?

[gardengalrn]

Just wondering if anyone has tried crossing SFT with anything? Mine has practically killed itself with tons of fruits breaking the stems and weighing the plant down. Nice blemish-free fruits and a perfect size. Much bigger than some of the other earlies. While I don't personally dislike the taste, I would prefer it with a little more complexity and less tang. Well, tang can be good but I guess it's more the complexity for me. Anyway, it would make a good co-parent, I would think. Any thoughts on this?

I've grown Silvery Fir Tree about five or six times, and also Carrotlike a couple of times, and one from andrey just called carrot. I think they are all the same tomato...(growth habit, unique leaf type, and fruit shape-all in common). The problem for me has always been the same-very susceptible to disease in my growing area. I've tried SFT in pots and in the ground, and still they always die before the first fruits are even fully ripe. So, in a way, it would be interesting to do some crossing, and breed with something more vigorous like a big 'ol PL with super thick leaves and disease resistance like Zade Wilson (which has the biggest thickest leaves out of any of the hudred or so Pl varieties that I've grown).Or maybe Andrew Raharts Jumbo Red (RL)which couldn't catch a disease if it were a train and ARJR was a hobo around here! If one selected for the compact habit, and early traits of SFT in the F2 generations onward, you might have one mighty fine 'mater on your hands... This might give me something to do this winter, as I am in the process of enclosing one of my patio areas in glass to make a "Florida Room" as they are called around here. Wonder what they call them in Florida? A "Here Room", or "X marks the spot room "maybe?-Bri

brainsander.... Floridians also call them "Florida Rooms". BTW, are you growing Strawberry Margarita this year?? Mine didn't germinate.
