Cypriot tomato
Is anyone familiar with this tommie? Is grown in Australia by Cypriot migrants. Large teardrop shape. This one's about 280g.

Lomatia -
My family is from Lemnos, and I recently went to Greece for a vacation. (this past Dec. & Jan.). The person I was traveling with was/is Cypriot ... I grow tomatoes for her every year. I was wondering if I could trade for a few of those? I do have some other Greek varieties: Thessaloniki Santorini Paste Santorini Cherry/Plum (my cousin collected from field last Sept. in Santorini) Crete 2006 (while in Crete a friends Yia Yia gave me a tomato she grows every year ) Let me know ~ ~ Tom

Yes Tom. I'll extract the seeds today and ferment them off. May take a few days then I'll send an email.
