Pravado is actually spelled Pravda. I apologize if I spelled it wrong on slip. Pravda. Pravda is close to Crovarese in taste and tomato size. Just a touch more acidic than Crovarese. Produces a bit later than the other plants I had, but it seemed to wait til we had all the 90+ temps and then it went to town . Pravda does not like to be overwatered or wet feet. It really likes to be kept on the dry side. I mean it really does not like very much water at all. When it first started fruiting I had a few tomatoes with BER on it and when I read about BER reasons here on TV I discovered that over watering is a major cause. Once I cut back drastically on the water, the plant grew and produced great. For flavor and size, even with my beginning watering problems it was my second best tasting tomato. It's one I will grow again for sure, now that I know what it likes to grow. Grew about 4-5' for me. Did have to string it up as it got loaded with heavy fruit clusters. http://t.tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Pravda Aladi orange I have a feeling is Aladdin's Orange. They may have just abbreviated name. Dice's Pink.... Maybe somebody else will chime in, but if you go to this thread from 2007 http://tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=7141 Tania was trying to figure about Ispolin tomato and if you scroll on down you'll find a post from Dice. I imagine it is maybe one of his crosses or something he brought back and maybe just named after him and pink for the color. Again, hopefully the person who grew Spud Rainey's Pink will chime in. The only thing I could find was that Rainey is a tomato grower, possible breeder and that the tomato may be Spudakee , shortened, or a cross grown by this person. I know not much help. Raf Fimande .... http://www.delectationoftomatoes.com...F_Fimande.html ask Heirloomtomatoguy about it. He grew it. http://www.tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=39251 read next post too about Dice.
