Default What Coucher de Soleil (Sunset) tomato should look like?

I just wonder what/how Coucher de Soleil (Sunset) should look like? Type, weight, color? Indeterminate or determinate? Would appreciate pictures if you have one. Thanks.

Thank you. My friend bought a big round bi-color from her local market with this name, so we try to figure out what would be a correct name for this bi-color. Is there any "Soleil" in bi-color family?

My French isn't all that bad but not that good either but when I read the link I don't see anything that says it's a bicolor, Charline, please correct me if I'm wrong.

What I see is:

Color, rose/red and is pointed
indet
fruit weight 100-150 gms and there are about 460 or so gms in a pound so that's about large cherry sized

Production good.

French to English translation of Soleil

http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dic...english/soleil

From the above:

le soleil couchant, the setting sun

A big round bicolor as you posted above?

Doesn't look like that from what I see/read.

Carolyn, Allisa didnt ask first about a bicolor , she just asked what Coucher du soleil should look like so I gave her the link

Charline, for some reason I posted before you, some delay somewhere.

So please read the post above this one since she said she got a BIG round Bicolor from a local market and that's not what your link indicated at all.

Again, please see my post above this one.

Thanks,

Carolyn

I had Coucher de Soleil 2 years ago (seeds from France) and it corresponded absolutely to the description on ventmarin. It was a red saladette, not a cherry, and NOT bicolor at all.

http://ventmarin.free.fr/passion_tom..._de_soleil.htm

But all my fruits had no yellow, green or whatever shoulders, they were completely red.
