Truly a "working name"

Glad you enjoyed it Bully ~
As I've meantioned before,
I initially bought a "Wonderlight"
tomato at a roadside stand -
I saved seed, but the following year,
thats not what showed up in my garden!

As Bully meantioned this is way different
from your average "yellow" in regards to taste
and size ...
I was fortunate enough to find out
recently from my Aunt who knows that
lady that grew the first
tom, that her plants of "Wonderlight"
were inbetween rows of Persimmon & Pineapple ~
So that lets me know alittle bit of the back ground
of where the cross came from ...

Its still unstable because my fruits this year have a
"point" at the bottom, and they looked similiar but not the exact SAME as Bullys fruits ~


Last year the fruits looked like this:









and this year:








I still have to mail one up to Carolyn for tasting
and further observation (locules, flavor, etc.)
I will become a memeber of SSE this year -
but in the meantime, if you would like to
"help" with the grow out, PM me ~
