A larger Jaune Flammée

Raymondo · January 30, 2006

I love Jaune Flammée: great taste (I like 'em tart), beautiful fruit and a pretty good producer. I'd like something similar in a larger tomato so this year I started with some crosses. The only one that took was with Paragon. I'll grow it on but next season I'll cross JF with Aunt Gertie's Gold to get some size. I also like PL foliage but that would be a bonus. I'm not expecting to get exactly what I want in the F2, but I should get something to work with. It may require a backcross or two along the way to get the taste and colour but that's part of the fun.
PS I posted something similar over on the General Discussion forum but this seems like a more appropriate place.
