There are no pictures, but the description is pretty close to what I have. The Texas Pinks at this market are nowhere near 1 lb each. I would say they average about 1/2 lb each. That difference could be the environment, but there isn't any way I know of to confirm that the tomato I have is a true descendent of the original Texas Pink.

I'll get more of them this week and save a bunch of seeds because it is a great tomato on its own merits.

Charley, I totally forgot to check Tania's site and one of the comments is from Neil in IL who was one of the first to get the seeds in 1996 and I just looked in my 2014 SSE Yearbook and he's still offering it.

Neil is one of my four regular seed producers and is also a member here at TV, but doesn't visit that often. Is there anything you would like me to ask him?

Yes, in the SSE YEarbooks, to date,but not in the public catalog for both SSE and non SSE members.
