OP, you need something to have in that GWR category.
My list: Red: Galinovic f1 Pink: Crnkovic probably Black: Pink Berkley Tie Die, Chernomor Yellow: Azoychka, Aunt Gertie Green: Tizebra (best tomato existing), Spears Tennessee green White: never tried I would say the color ranking is like: Green, yellow or black, pink, red. |

Not yet released. Need to check more for stability. It's more of a tart tomato (although not sour like Azoychka for example) with very strong and persistent taste. People have been raving about it, I bring it everywhere to boost my ego (it's true that people around here aren't all that used to great tasting tomatoes however). I think the secret is the very abundant dark green foliage.

I am certainly no expert on this subject, but I believe JDs special is a term applied to all varieties developed by JD Brann. JDs special collard greens come to mind. C Tex is a term used for all the varieties Conroe Greenhouses sell that they believe to be especially well adapted to central Texas. I Think JDs Special C-Tex is someone’s stabilized grow out of JDs Early Black tomato, but it is a much larger, a lot later, and a less sweet tomato. I have grown both side by side in a couple of seasons and gotten these results each time. I would love to hear from someone that knows for certain.
