Names of two varieties
I have two varieties whose name I don't know. Does anyone recognize them?
The first one is a mini variety, grows to 30 cm tall, with fruits up to 4 cm large. The second one is very high in glutamate, indeterminate, fruits up to 12 cm long. |

With over 20,000 tomato varieties, all of which look similar to several others, it would be impossible to identify by photos alone. I'm sorry to give you this news. The good news is that we trade a lot of seeds here, and you will know exactly what your cultivar's name is.

Red Robin is a variety that has similar traits to your first picture.
Can't be sure it's the same, but it's a start. Lee

The only one I've seen with the color of your second one is Ukrainka, which has that same lighter flesh and originated in your general area. But, no way to be absolutely sure.

Where did you purchase the seeds or plants?
A seed supplier will only have a limited variety of a micro tomato. Same with any tomato. That would narrow down the other one being unusual in fruit shape, color, even leaf type. My large local nursery only has two micros, one cascading 'patio' hanging planter type, and about 25-30 various hybrid/heirlooms. |

Thanks to all. I know it's a long shot, but you never know.
I got the first one from AliExpress, I ordered multiple variety but got a mix in every one. The second I got locally as Orange Pepper tomato, but I think that's a bit generic of a name. In any case they are good tomato varieties. The second one tastes like it was sprinkled with MSG, I've never tried a tomato with such strong umami taste. |
