A person at another message site to whom I sent BSS seeds says his were red and he thought they were great and is saving seed and I asked him to send me some.
I spent some time looking at some other BSS threads/posts here and some have said they got something other than orange although most did get orange and most liked the taste very much. There were three places folks could get seeds. From my seed offer here where I sent out unbagged seed b'c I had more of than than bagged seed which I sent to those who requested it from my SSE listing and Brad Gates was also offering it. And after Melissa siad she got it from Brad I went to his site and saw this: BIG SUNGOLD SELECT - Not yet stable, however all sizes and colors had outrageous sweet tropical fruit tomato flavor. Aggressive grower and producer. 75% of plants had orange cherries and the other 25% where a mix of larger yellows, red’s and mahogany. Again, all had exceptional flavor. So either Brad was offering unbagged seed or BSS is still genetically unstable. I think the only way I'd know for sure is if someone who requested it from my SSE listing who got bagged seed and set out several plants also got something other than orange. So if any of you give more feedback, and I hope you do, please remember to give your seed source. And I think after I hear more it might be helpful to send this thread to Reinhard.
