Mark, do you remember the thread you put up in WANTED,looking for multiflora varieties,I do,and all of this was discussed back then.

YES, how could I forget? I hope the ones pictured, at least one, preferably the fasciated one, is Colgar 100.
The problem getting big MF's is most crosses would involve a small fruited variety, and small fruit is dominant. But I think zipcode is thinking megabloom = King flowers. I'll have to see if I am growing anything with the f gene... I remember about 10 years ago growing Early Santa Clara, which either preceded Santa Clara Canner, or was SCC with the f gene. I just checked SCC/ESC and:
ESC = Cultivar probably originated in Italy, since 1890. Large, indeterminate plant, fruit very large, oblate, multiloculed, soft. Improvements by Canners League, UCD, Ferry Morse Seed Co. 3/2006: accession seg.s for anthocyanin deficiency.
.........................
"f" is a recessive gene, there were 15 accessions last time I checked, HOWEVER, there is also a version with a DOMINANT allele!
"Fruits many-loculed; phenotype more extreme than original allele of f; carpels unfused; dominant allele."
.......................
It showed up in at least a Guatamalan variety.
My money is on Riestomate!
