This lady's dog found it growing in with a row of green zebra. Actually her dog found it and brought it to her. The dog is named Girl Girl.

Thank you Ginger!

Also, one of the last ones to still have fruit and not much foliar issues. Fabulous flavor. Juicy, not dry.

Blandywine (not Br Sudduth)

Ursa Major Disappointment (not Bear Claw)
Wretched Heart (not Oaxacan Jewel)

And, several more that are a distant memory.

I had one you could have named Golf Ball.
It was a volunteer from a grocery store tomato.
It was the size shape color and hardness of a golf ball.
In other words it was just like a grocery store tomato except it was white.

Naming Copia Vomit would have been more descriptive of that one.

Thanks for the reminder.

About a decade ago, I had a wrong variety turn out to be a small, hard, tasteless, striped thing...named it Tiger's Golf Ball.
