Kosovo is an outstanding heart in terms of texture, size, productivity, versatility, and flavor. You chose wisely.
Based on that, I think you'd like Nicky Crain a large pink heart, dense, productive, similar to Dester. I'm out of seeds.
Give Indian Stripe PL, Pink Berkeley Tie Dye or Daniel Burson a run and they might surprise you with their productivity and flavor.
Compact plants more or less.
True Black Brandywine is the only tomato whose flavor has invoked "sweaty horse blanket" and other not so cool descriptors around here.
Brandywine, 'tis a fickle one. Cowlicks or Sudduth's are better candidates in terms of productivity and flavor.
Either ISPL or DBurson will make you forget about Cherokee Purple.
Nice work as always.
