Tomato Reisetomate

[Gardeneer]

Interesting .
It looks like clumped fruits not fused not cat faced.

There are no strains of it, it is unique.

With any variety there will be a range of DTM's for it and one can see that if looking in an SSE Yearbook and that's b/c of the year it was grown,where was it grown,what was the summer like when it was grown,how folks grow their tomatoes,what amendments they use and if so when and how much and which ones.

Just too many variables involved.

Rie as a prefix refers to Riesentraube and the two are not related

I hope that clears it up for you.

Well, I'm sure it's just an oversight, as the first link has photos with spelling of 'Riesentomate' and 'Reisetomate.'

I was really surprised seeing those bunched clusters (fused?) weighing so little...

There is a confusion : Riesentraube and Reisetomate are both German names but different varieties;
RIESEN : means giant . ( pronounced like reason)
REISE : means travel, trip ( pronounced like rise-eh)

BTW : i am growing Riesentraube.

Thanks! Then... "Brain"...has to do with its looks? Or is brain a German term too?

P.S. those pronunciations seem almost reversed according to how we were taught English.

Correct.

Tania has the right spelling for the variety at the top,but then switches under her pictures.

Note that the German person spells it correctly.

Folks,if I'm sometimes a bit flip with Mark,there is a reason and he can confirm everything I now post.He used to drive Chuck Wyatt crazy with all of his questions, Chuck said no more,and without asking me told Mark that I was the person to ask,so then Mark drove me crazy with his questions.

Chuck died in June of 2002 and I haven't checked lately to see if Donna M is still running it.Chuck's wife asked me to help her,but that didn't work out well at all.

This may surprise you but what you were taught in English,does not always apply to other languages,and that includes German.

I've never heard of anyone referring to it as brain,which is not a German description,but there are those who will use other words to describe the fruit shapes of other varieties as well.

Here's a couple of examples

Actually Riesentraube was known in Europe by several names and in Hungary it was called Goat's T*t for the small nipple at the blossom end.

See post #29, that's the third time I saw/heard it called Brain...
Saw it on ebay as REISETOMATE-VOYAGE-BRAIN

[Gardeneer]

That is totally amazing to me. Sure looks like BRAIN too.

This is your brain on Tomatoes (remember that anti-drug commercial a while back where they showed a brain after using drugs)

Thanks so much for saying that you saw it referred to on e-bay as such,since many e-bay sellers will do anything to increase sales,as most of you already know.

Someone needs to cross Reisetomate with Barry's Crazy Cherry or Ildi
