If someone wants me to use a different version of Humberto/Umberto in breeding..send me that seed!
Below is a picture of my creation FLAMING BURST. It has a teardrop shape which might be interesting in the hybrid that I made with it and King Umberto (Terroir).
The Flaming Burst retains the green gel around the seed due to the linkage with Verde Claro background. The fruit has that aromatic, sweet taste of Flammee and the sweet "grassy" flavor of Verde Claro. The hybrid of FB and King Umberto (Terroir) could be called "UMBELIEVABLE" or "Umbilical Discord" as a way to honor the many history buffs on the Humberto series of historical tomato varieties.

I am sorry, I look at that tomato and I see more Principe Borghese than Re Umberto.
