Which is the true Lorelei?
I had two seedlings and planted the "best" one in the garden, but couldn't find a home for the second one so I planted it in the hedgerow, and haven't checked on it for a while.
Veggie Lorelei became a MONSTER plant and produced a ton of cherry tomatoes in a beautiful glossy bluish red (that were not truly spherical) with a tiny dimple in the bottom. They are a bit crunchy.
Hedgerow Lorelei was already flowering by the time it was planted and only has one stem. The perfectly spherical cherry toms are a yellowish red, with thin skin and no dimple.
Both have good taste for a red cherry, but I think I prefer Hedgerow Lorelei, and will taste them again when they have ripened some more. Although the sepals look dead on the four that I picked, the tomatoes aren't soft when squeezed.
