From Syracuse, NY. This is an inadvertent cross between Black From Tula and an unknown pollinator. I should have known something was up when the plant was one of the largest in my garden and was producing a multitude of flower buds. Black From Tula has a modest growth habit and a fairly modest fruitset. Large regular leaf plants produce a heavy fruitset of medium round fruits with the occasional beefsteak thrown in. There is some persistent green on the shoulders, much like Black From Tula and it has the same soft texture. Flavor has just a hint of smokiness but is overall sweeter. A nice fruit for topping a bagel but I generally prefer meatier tomatoes. Will be interesting to see what happens at F2.
