Tomatoville® Gardening Forums - View Single Post - When to 'rename' a de-hybridized hybrid?

crmauch · April 20, 2015

I'm in the process of de-hybridizing a hybrid (At f3 this year). I don't want to keep referring to a tomato as <tomato variety> f<x> as it is cumbersome, and probably someone has rights to the variety name. Looking for opinions on when it is appropriate for me to give the stabilized variety it's own name.

So it would be <new name>(dehybridized version of <tomato variety>).

Any thoughts?
