With any variety there will be a range of DTM's for it and one can see that if looking in an SSE Yearbook and that's b/c of the year it was grown,where was it grown,what was the summer like when it was grown,how folks grow their tomatoes,what amendments they use and if so when and how much and which ones. Just too many variables involved. Carolyn

P.S. those pronunciations seem almost reversed according to how we were taught English. Last edited by korney19; June 24, 2016 at 03:20 PM. |

Tania has the right spelling for the variety at the top,but then switches under her pictures. Note that the German person spells it correctly. Folks,if I'm sometimes a bit flip with Mark,there is a reason and he can confirm everything I now post.He used to drive Chuck Wyatt crazy with all of his questions, Chuck said no more,and without asking me told Mark that I was the person to ask,so then Mark drove me crazy with his questions. Chuck died in June of 2002 and I haven't checked lately to see if Donna M is still running it.Chuck's wife asked me to help her,but that didn't work out well at all. Carolyn

I've never heard of anyone referring to it as brain,which is not a German description,but there are those who will use other words to describe the fruit shapes of other varieties as well. Here's a couple of examples http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Cow%27s_Tit http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Monkey_★★★ Actually Riesentraube was known in Europe by several names and in Hungary it was called Goat's T*t for the small nipple at the blossom end.
