From the Philippines. As noted before, there are many Filipino tomatoes that have the word "native" somewhere in their name but this does not mean they are in any way similar. Some are sweet, some are very acidic, some are red, some pink, some smooth and some ruffled. I think most are landraces, partially stabilized varieties that developed on their own in certain areas without the influence of deliberate breeding programs. This is Pangasinan Native. Seeds were kindly contributed by Kai at http://bucaio.blogspot.com/search?q=kamatis.
Large healthy plants produced a medium to heavy fruitset of ruffled, pink tomatoes. As described Kai's blog, the fruits are thin skinned, sweet and mild. They are very soft, making them impractical for sale on a large scale. Most likely a landrace as the two plants I grew out this year had some fairly marked differences.
