It looks like one I've grown called Sgt. Peppers (thank you Ginger2778). Maybe all antho-types look similar?

Sgt Peppers should be a true heart shaped tomato. Shadow Boxing in the above pic is a nippled plum.

Whats in the name (
A tomato called pepper, Sargent Pepper, i.e. .

Well, its just a name but it creates a conflict in my logical thinking mind.
I always wonder how and why they come up these names. In my mind a name has to be relevant and help to describe and promote what it is, at least partially.

I had a cross that I called Big As_ Tomato. It was a big tomato.

Its actually spelled as the abreviation and the plural. Sgt. Peppers.
The breeder, Jason Haynes, is a fan of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles.

The name works for me, with a heart tomato and a Lonely Hearts album.
