Pink & Red Fruits
Ok... This is where most folks start, and yes, I will concede that I too tend to have a wandering eye towards a pretty red tomato... After many years of brainwashing by the local grocer, I thought all red 'maters tasted like cardboard. After a trip to Tomatofest(c) a few years back I realized that even a red tomato, when left to vine ripen, could have some pretty decent flavor! 'Momotaro' was the standout at that fest, but others can be pretty darn tasty as well; but I still prefer a 'Black' Fruit - just me, but again 'I am the expert'. You may disagree and prefer the acidic flavor of most reds, what does this mean = Your wrong!

Komohana Grape - Very limited #
This oblong Thompson grape shaped tomato has its origins in Hawaii (by the name)???
It does well in the hot humid tropics, and it should do well in the south; reputed to be very productive. The determinate - small bush plant is said to get so loaded with fruit that it needs support. Fruits are small about ½ oz. 80-85 days.

Back again after a few years without - Too cool- Great for the Kid's Garden
This is a beautiful ornamental tomato is fuzzy like a peach, an interesting botanical oddity known at pubescence. Indeterminate, regular-leaf (well not too regular) plants with a fuzzy, blue-gray "fur" on the leaves. Plant yields an abundance of 1-inch, red, super-sweet cherry tomatoes that also have a slight silvery fuzz on them which causes the red to appear less than red. A spectacular novelty tomato. Rare tomato seeds. This is great selection for a patio garden.

Brandysweet Plum
"Indeterminate, open-pollinated, compact, potato leaf, tomato variety that was an accidental cross between Brandywine and Sweet 100, yielding abundant crops of 2 oz., jade-pink, elongated cherry fruit with the rich, complex flavors of Brandywine combined with the pronounced sweetness of Sweet 100. I've been told that it is difficult for these cherry tomatoes to make it out of the garden and into the kitchen because of their superb taste. A great snackin' and salad tomato." from Tomatofest (c)

Wild Cherry -
Old-time, south-of-the-border favorite that continues to prove its value as a salad tomato. Tiny, red, cherry-type fruits weigh down trusses with prolific yields throughout an extended growing season. Round 1/2" fruits explode with irresistible full, beefsteak flavor. Very reliable.

DWARF Arctic Rose
Dwarf Arctic Rose is a 2012 release by the Dwarf Tomato Project. Topping out at 2.5 – 3 feet, this is the shortest of the project releases to date, it is also the first true determinate released through the project. Dwarf Arctic Rose sets fruit very readily and produces a heavy crop of medium-sized pink tomatoes early in the season. Flavor is nicely balanced and mild. Recommended for container or field growing and is especially suitable for short-season climate zones.
Dwarf Arctic Rose was developed between 2006-2012 by the members of the Dwarf Tomato Project from a cross between Budai Torpe and Black from Tula, made in 2006 by Patrina Nuske Small in Australia and named Grumpy. Sherry Shiesl and Susan Bailey of Alaska carried out the majority of the selection work on this new variety, which was named collaboratively by them in 2011. Ted Maiden grew out the F8 seed that was provided to Casey’s Heirloom Tomatoes of Airdrie for initial release. Regular leafed. Thanks to the good folks at HSM or the photo!

Brandywine OTV – Top 5 Seller Ind. 85 days.
OTV Brandywine is a strain of Brandywine that came from a natural
cross between Yellow Brandywine and an unknown red tomato. 'OTV' stands for 'Off the Vine,' an heirloom tomato newsletter once published by Carolyn Male and Craig LeHoullier. These tomatoes are red, foliage is potato-leaved, and yield is often greater than that of regular Brandywine, especially since OTV Brandywine sets fruit more easily in warm weather. Fruit weighs about 1 lb. and its flavor is delicious, the perfect blend of sugars and acids.

Carmello - These sell fast!!!
From Tomatofest (c). "The French Carmello is among the most productive tomatoes ever bred. It is popular in European markets because of it's exceptionally fine flavor. I de-hybridized this variety over a 5 year period around 1993. Bears large crops of heavy, juicy tomatoes with flavor that just doesn't stop. Another favorite because it consistently produces great tasting fruit.... Good for slicing in salads, sauteed, or as an integral part of any dish."

Momotaro Hy
Indeterminate. 74 days.
This is the most popular tomato in Japan, where gardeners prefer their tomatoes pink and sweetly flavored. Named for a popular hero from Japanese folklore; His name literally means Peach Tarō. Hybrid plants produce abundant crops of round, medium-sized, perfectly smooth tomatoes with no blemishes or imperfections. Their taste is wonderful, intensely rich and sweet, with just the right amount of acid. We think that this variety will also catch on with American gardeners once they find out how delicious it is.
