crmauch- Unfortunately they were never true hearts. I would have loved to find mini hearts though. But the f1 did give rise to an interesting shape (kind of a plum cherry if you will) which I haven't seen in any further generations since then.

I do however love this cross so much that I decided to cross it with Kosovo to see if I can get mini hearts, green or pink.

I realized I need to ask a question. They looked like hearts (from the shape) in the photograph, but you said they weren't 'true' hearts. What makes a tomato a 'heart' tomato. (Damon to be clear, I'm not disagreeing with what you said, I just am trying to understand some of the classification 'rules')

Thanks,

Chris
