Marizol Bratka was the result of a cross that Joe Bratka made and was a selection from that cross. Actually it's pretty good.
Almost forgot to say that the initial cross was between Brandywine and Marizol Purple.

Thank you for that, Carolyn. I shall change my records. I understand that Sarah Black also goes under a number of different names. Certainly the one I have has produced a very large crop of large, very tasty tomatoes. The only 'down side' is that these and Marizol Bratka have tended to split.
