Burgundy Traveler ?

daylilydude · September 5, 2006

Has anyone got any pros and cons i've heard of the arkansas traveler are these one and the same if not how do they compare? Why i'm at it how about cour di bue and ingegnoli gigante liscio? Any info would be a big help thanks.

EDITED: What it was supposed to say was arkansas traveler and burgandy traveler one and the same ? I'm suprised anyone could make any sense out of what i wrote

This year I grew Ingegnoli from seeds purchased from Baker Creek. Of the 20 plants, I grew out two; one was a wrong variety...it was a nice, red, sweet cherry tomato. The other gave a few flattened globes that averaged about 10 oz. While the taste was better than average, they were not gigante in size or flavor. I don't know the outcome of the other 18 plants as I gave them away and did not keep track of who got them.

Arkansas Traveler, which some people make a point of saying should simply be called "Traveler" which was released by the University of Arkansas, not to be confused with a lost variety from the turn of the century called "Arkansas Traveler", is a good overall tomato which is heat tolerant and has good flavor in my experience. It's a main cropper in S.E. Texas and of course its namesake.
