You might consider calling them mongrel, mixed breed or uncontrolled hybrid tomatoes.
Or you may be able to get away with calling them Landrace under certain definitions.
Reason being you are constantly culling out the tomatoes that you dont like or do well where you live.
The Indians in Mexico have been doing it for many years with corn and still do it.
