Leaving aside any questions of authenticity and honesty, what would a DNA test show?
Wouldn't you need a DNA test of a known sample of Crimson Giant to compare the results of these tomatoes? Further, a DNA test cannot show or prove the age of the seeds.
Just thought it was an interesting question since DNA was mentioned a couple of times. OTOH, if you had the seeds and seed packet, how could you prove they were not 80 years old?
Just some wonderings on a cold day here in Virginia!
