I grew out this tomato and got the same results as Tania, fluted and very hollow. I was not impressed with this tomato at all. No meat at all!!!!!!

Maybe it was the growing conditions last year, I may give it one more try for the heck of it.

Update: I found a few pictures of Sierra Leone from 2010 garden season.

This pic is one cut in half. You can see areas that are slightly hollow. Other tom's that were cut were more hollow, while some had more meat then others, like this one.

Basket of Sierra Leone.. very much ribbed.

Ripening on the vine. Notice the blotches.

Mine looked exactly the same.

i grew them in 2012 before they were wiped out by late blight I found them extremely vigorous plants and the few fruits that ripened were amazing to make stuffed dolma tomatoes with
