While that is a goal, like I said I'm more excited in the journey than the exact outcome. Will I get a larger Jaune Flammee exactly, highly unlikely. But I think the potential for some tasty unique tomatoes exists.

Will be fun to watch the progress and the F2 will be interesting

I'm glad to hear it, I'm excited to share my results on the thread!

I think you will enjoy tinkering with that cross
Sounds like a fun cross--I'm hoping to get some similar to JF, but larger, and also excited for surprises and given the two parents I'm thinking tasty surprises.
