Crossed Tatura
I grew this variety several years ago. I saved seed from outside grown plants. Growing a plant in my greenhouse now, and I think its crossed seed because I have a plant about 6 feet tall with fruit starting to ripen and the fruit is about a 1 oz cherry.
For anyone that has grown Tatura, please confirm your fruit size and plant size. I dont have any notes from when I grew it previously, but my recollection is that it was about 3-4 feet tall, with fruit about 6 oz.

Tatura is a town in Victoria, Oz (near Shepparton) where a lot of commercial tomatoes are grown both for the fresh market and processing.

Lomatia-That was the info I had. But I have a cherry tomato now, and its obviously a cross, since its not dwarf and much smaller than I had gotten previously.

Here is what GRIN has to say - seems it was quite a large tomato (click on observations)

Here is a photo of the fruit I picked last night. They average 3/8 oz. I have no idea what this crossed with-I saved seed from an outside plant that was not bagged. Pretty darn prolific in the greenhouse this winter. Good taste. I am going to save seed and grow outside this spring.
