Few other first time gems:
- George Detsikas Italian Red: Big meaty and beautiful tomatoes 6 kg from a single plant in a short season
- Abruzzo and Italian Special Red Pear: similar beautiful pear shaped tomatoes, big plants. I really like this shape for cooking and I've tried other pear shaped varieties last year (Japanese Black and Orange trifele, Aladdin's Lamp, Piedmont Pear, Black Pear, ...) and they were very juicy (way to much) for cooking and on the small side (120 g average). There italian pear shaped varieties are much meatier and bigger (average 250 g), they don't crack under my conditions (no irrigation) and cook well. Abruzzo had better taste than Italian Special Red Pear, but had a little bit more juice.
- Medovyi Spas : great meaty heart-shaped tangerine orange tomato with good taste.
