Gimli

     This is the F3 of my cross between Large Red Cherry and Hillbilly Potato Leaf. Go here for an overview of gene segregation in tomatoes subsequent to hybridization: http://kdcomm.net/~tomato/gene/genes2.html
     My growouts were limited to a few plants per generation and so far only one plant at F3 showed any variation. Hillbilly Potato Leaf is, unsurprisingly, potato-leafed and Large Red Cherry has regular foliage. Gimli is regular-leafed and like both parents, produces a very large plant. In 2011, this was by far my largest plant, nearly twice as tall as the next largest plants. The fruit split the difference between both parents. HBL is yellow shot with orange and red. LRC is red. Gimli is a fairly uniform orange. Gimli is a very small beefsteak with a mild sweet taste that is slightly more acidic than HPL. Below is a pic of the fruit from my one variation along with some Yellow Pear tomatoes. This plant bore heavily ribbed fruits that were more acidic and had more gel. Bred in the USA.
