Now you've piqued my curiosity. Two years ago, I was given 3 'New Jersey' tomato plants that grew and produced very well. Not knowing anything about this plant, I bagged and saved a few seeds. I grew them again this year and got an OK yield since most of my plants got early blight.

I talked with the person donating the plants and he thought the ones he gave me were either Ramapo or derived from this variety or had been renamed New Jersey. He does not remember where he got the seed since he 'purchases from too many catalogs'.

So could the New Jersey indeed be Ramapo or something similar? The fruits are great tasting and about the same size as the Ramapo.
