You can expect the traits of the children to be a blend between the traits of the parents. In the next generation you can expect a lot of diversity with some tomatoes like the original parents with traits switched between them, and some tomatoes that are a blend between the two original parents. If you start with two great tomatoes you can expect the children and grandchildren to be great tomatoes.
