F1 Hybrid Heart?

[Greatgardens]

Is anyone aware of any hybrid heart-shaped tomatoes? I don't recall any, and I do like most heart types that I've tried. Dwarf Pink Passion is now the best Project Dwarf that I've grown. edging out Perth Pride this past summer.

The only one I know of is a cherry size called tomatoberry or tomatoberry garden. Haven't grown it myself.

Yes, I've grown that (unique) cherry-type. Quite decent, and a good-sized cherry. But I'm really looking for a full-sized heart.

I haven't seen any commercially sold, but it would be simple to make a hybrid using one of the potato leaf heart shaped as female parent and crossing with pollen from a regular leaf heart.

Lots of great OP hearts out there, what is the reason you are hoping for a hybrid? Disease resistance?

In most cases I have had better success with hybrids. If there is a hybrid of the type I'm looking for, it will be the one I try first. The fruit are generally more uniform and better looking, they hold up a bit longer against disease, etc. Certainly not always the case, but that has typically been my experience. In this case, there may be no hybrid, so I may end up with something like Nicky Crain or Pink Heart. Or stick with Dwarf Pink Passion.
