So, out of the 16 multiflora F3 seeds, one sprouted. I grew it out.
The multiflora trait persisted, but the fruit is not that
impressive. The taste is fine, but it is a small, grape-sized
cherry tomato, like Clementine itself was, and it splits easily.
I have had worse for that, but still, this is not a trait to keep.

The upside was that the "only setting 3-4 fruit per truss" trait
disappeared. It started that way, on the first few trusses that
set in cold weather on the north side of the plant. The weather
warmed up in mid-July, however, and the trusses that set after
that, mostly on the south (sunny) side of the plant, had lots of
fruit per truss. It was also satisfyingly early.

I might try crossing it with Black Plum to introduce larger fruit and
a skin less prone to splitting. Then I will have to grow it out again
until I get the multiflora trait back, hopefully with larger fruit with
some split resistance (and still with good flavor).
