Looks like my shadow boxing, only more round.

It looks like one of the Woolly varieties to me because of the fuzz. I haven't grown Muddy Waters, maybe that's it. It reminds me of Seattle Woolly Blue Mammoth. It's a lovely tomato! Your varieties sure put some excitement into my garden, Thanks Tom!!!

It's one of those peaches that have been selected to be overly dark.

I'll go out on a limb here and say
tomato.

Very peachy, but also looks very similar to Woolly Kate.

I agree.

Someone just brought me some peaches from GA and boy do they bruise easily, just like what's shown, so have to be eaten as soon as they are just a bit soft.

It is a Peachato

Harkato?

(Harko nectarine x tomato)

Here is a picture of a peach... SUGAR MAY.... that looks somewhat close.

But the mystery fruit is not a peach.

Nah, not nectarine -- has to peach because it's fuzzy.

Tom - on a serious note. I'm not sure why you made this post, so I apologize if I hijacked it for a humorous vein.

[Way, way off topic -- if the fruit was a peach, it would never ripen properly. If the red coloring on a peach (or nectarine) does not touch where the stem was attached the peach will never sweeten. This 'method' although made much harder by these super-red varieties (because consumers relate redness to ripeness), it still works 85% of the time]

Some sort of Jujube fruit.

A select blue, helsing ★★★★★★★★, or clackamas blueberry tomato? One of the new blue varieties, I guess. How does it taste?
