* Red Trifele Russian was round (with little flavor). * Pink Trifele Russian was a long paste-type. * Pink Accordian was a long paste-type. * Tropic was a tiny plant, too, similar to how Mexican turned out. * Husky Red F1 was RL instead of rugose * Chris Ukrainian was striped * Kimberly was RL * Chocolate Stripes was PL * Delicious had both leaf types All those I've mentioned so far were from store purchases. Here are some crosses from trades, SASE and such: * Jim Dandy turned out to be an awesome multiflora cherry that sometimes tasted like butterscotch. Bush habit, but like a giant tumbleweed shape. * Ambrosia Red was a prolific golfball-sized yellow with decent taste * A stabilized Brandy Boy F12 turned out to be RL, but I loved it. Here are some crosses from my own garden: * Amana Orange is brownish and has stripes * Pruden's Purple crossed with a similar tomato, producing red-orange fruits; the purple tasted better * Missouri Pink Love Apple looked just like Girl Girl's Weird Thing (and had little flavor) * Black Beauty crossed with Sweetie (the result was a prolific, large red cherry; almost every fruit split before I harvested it) * The aforementioned Ambrosia Red that was a yellow golfball shape turned out to be a pink pleated, but not hollow, tomato the next year. Mushy, but not mealy flesh. Decent taste. Fermented quickly if you didn't eat it right away. Fruits weren't as large as say Zapotec. * Probably lots of others, but I better be off.
