I receive a news bulletin sent by Vilmorin Co to shareholders and learnt a few things in the latest edition. There are nine species of wild tomatoes :
L esculentum var.cerasiforme,
Solanum peruvianum
Solanum pimpinenellifolliom
L. parviflorum, L. chmielewskii
L cheesmanii
Solanum lycopersicoides
L chilense
Solanum penellii
Solanum habrochaites
Each species brings specific qualities. I suppose Joseph knows them all and makes use of their different qualities. He quotes S. corneliomulleri, did Vilmorin forget it ?
I learnt too that every year more than 250 new varieties are on sale in the world. How many will still be on sale in 10 years ?
