I had one plant of Rebel Alliance this summer, but it didn't do well, no problem since the others didn't do well either,but I got a few fruits and was surpised they were brown. Bred by Russ Aceto and seeds from him.

But the multiflora I think I like the best,well with the exception of Zluta Kytice is

Click on more pictures to see the multiflora nature of this one.

It was known in many European countries under slightly different names,one being Goat's T*t in Hungary which describes the small nipple at the blossom end.
It was Curtis Choplin who got it out of the German Seed bank in at Gatersleben, and I think Will Weaver also got it from somewhere. I know he said that many liked to use it for making tomato wine,he sent me a few bottles and yes,it tasted like an excellent pale sherry.

Aha, I just remembered where Will described the recipe he used to make the wine, it was in an issue of Off The Vine,which was an International newsletter that I started and asked Craig L to join me and we published it for quite a few years.
