jmsieglaff: I'll qualify to say "decent for a tomato". It was sweet and fruity. It wasn't no cape gooseberry, nor groundcherry, which I really like. But I thought that the taste was better than what I can get as a domesticated tomato from the grocery store.

As far as I can tell, none of the manual pollinations were successful, in which I used S. peruvianum as a pollen donor. There were a lot of pollinators working the S. peruvianum flowers which were inter-planted with S. habrochaites, S. pimpinellifolium, S. corneliomulleri, S. pennellii, and S. lycopersicum. So I'll watch for naturally occurring hybrids next year.

I have already collected several thousand seeds.
