Tomato Swoon

I'm looking for information about tomato Swoon. The best would be a photo of a ripe fetus.

Swoon - indeterminate, PL, pink, heart, 1 pound+, superb flavor (in my garden).

It originated with me. It's from a PL plant of Granny's Heart that showed up in a T'ville member's garden, from whom I requested seeds.

I usually release "varieties" at about F5 or F6, only if I have no off-types showing up. Someone I sent seed to had a RL plant show up, last year.

Tormato, how productive is Swoon in your garden?

If others have grown Swoon, please share your results.

Swoon's production is about average for hearts, in my garden. But, large hearts generally produce a bit less than most large beefsteaks.

That doesn't bother me, as I have room for about 200 plants, if I wish. For really, really great tasting tomatoes, just 1 fruit on a plant is OK with me. Anything more is a bonus. And, for the really, really great tasting varieties, I usually have more than 1 plant of each.

I love Tormato's Swoon. I got both the RL and PL version last year. In my garden Swoon was super productive. Better than most other hearts in fact. Tormato has a winner here. Smooth sweet taste and meaty flesh.

Heide, don't you have a photo? I'm looking for Swoon among my eighty other varieties (I have a lot of hearts PL and RL) and somehow I have to identify the variety.

After searching...here is one just because you are a nice guy!

oops sorry-that was the RL I will look for the PL as Swoon is supposed to be PL!

hl2601 · July 30, 2021

Ok Vladimir- here is a pic of both versions with their respective leaves.
Both versions were productive.

Heide thank you. I already found Swoon. The only big pink heart with PL. I didn't sow other pink. It tastes great.

Beautiful Vladimir! I am glad you found it and like the taste...its an excellent tomato from Tormato! . Are there any Eastern European tomatoes similar to this-hearts especially, that you particularly like that I could search out?
