This variety in the F1 and F2 was of uncertain appeal, and Dale was careful to explain.

But I love to experiment and may even clone a cutting and overwinter it to compare against seedlings.

I doubt if very many besides us gardening fanatics would care much. So far the fruits have resembled a small Riesetomate, with a tart, strong flavor I enjoy...but isn't currently popular in the marketplace.

I'm growing another labelled "Kitayskiy Oksamitovy" that so far promises to be "meh" regarding production, but is the most interesting, rampant, disease-resistant and drought-tolerant variety I have ever grown.

But it has really interesting fuzzy, minty-gray-green foliage.

I have 80 tomatoes this year, about a dozen to fill canning jars, and the rest for fun.
