Another of my many crosses involving Lithium Sunset (a great striped line developed by Fred Hempel). I think it has the coolest stripes around.
I'll admit the basis of this cross was taking three tomatoes with cool stripes and crossing them - looking for cool stripes!
The fact that all three of the parents are very worthy taste wise, gives me faith that I'll see great taste out of this line long term. All of these seg's had average taste (though an EXCEPTIONALLY wet summer left a lot of my fruit weak-tasting)

In the mean time --

FY 2-2. Cool stripes for sure. Has the "waxed" look of Hippie Zebra

FY 2-7

I have some extra F2 seeds from these available if anyone wants into the "cool stripes" game. I'll probably also donate some to Carolyn's "experimental" offering.
