Thanks for the tips,but the multiflora I have is yellow-fruited.It is "Ildi",a popular cherry type tomato.I've had a good experience with it this year and the fruits were deliciously sweet.I plan on crossing it with a PL det. red-fruited variety,and then cross the selected F2s with a det. jointless.From there on,I will be selecting for the mentioned traits.A cross with Ildi already has a good potential of exhibiting quite a bit of heterosis because the other line is vastly different that it.So with that cross I might already have a very good hybrid,but I certanly won't settle for it and abbandon my other plans.
