Crossers cross. I'll definitely play around some. But this is a back-burner type of project for me.
Maglia Rosa fits the bill for some farmers, but it is the only finished tomato of mine that comes close to filling this niche. The more immediate goal is to help my friends. I have had some lines that more or less fit what they want (gourmet fruit + plants that can be grown somewhat reasonably without trellising). My lines are the by-product of my other efforts, and most of them have been identified in their fields in screens of my segregating F3 and F4 lines. That said, I have heard a number of other farmers say they have this type of tomato on their wish list. It might work in California better than in other places (arid summers). |
