Any guesses
Any guesses? Found this collage of tomato pics and would really like to know what the heavily ribbed one is in the middle.

a type not commonly grown here tending to be quite late, there are a number of heirloom ribbed piriforme tomatoes such as this, especially Italian ones.

What color would you call that? Is it underripe?
Anyway, some popular heavily ribbed tomatoes with shapes like that include Mushroom Basket, Zapotec, Pink Stuffer, Pink Accordian, and Yellow Ruffled. Some of those have additional names. I'm not confident that it's it's any of those, but they're possibilities. |

Looks like Red Anjou (named after a pear). NESeed.com has it and lists it as an Italian Heirloom Hybrid. Not sure how that works but it is delicious. The stinkbugs love it!

I grow one very similar called Canestrino. Originally given to me by someone who got the seeds from his father who lives in Italy in the area were Canestrino is commonly gown.
When I first started growing it I looked on the internet for information and found a video on youtube all about Canestrino but in Italian which I don't understand unfortunately. Looked like it is picked green and perhaps eaten green as well. There is very little info on it and sadly the man who gave me the original plant is now very ill.

It's not Costoluto Genovese. While CG is ribbed, it has a flattened oblate shape.

Yes, the 'cuor di bue', at least some of them (not sure who came up with the name), since it still means oxheart.
Liguria is the most common OP variant, there's also hybrids. I have tasted some store bought version, probably Arawak F1, very very good classic taste, but hollow inside. |

There are quite a few tomatoes that shape, it can’t be positively identified from one photo of one tomato and without seeing the plant.
Who’s photo is it? Chances are they might know what tomatoes they are. KarenO |

my guess is Cuore di Bue also. I planted that for a customer this Spring and that is what the photo looked like. it was from "Seeds from Italy" if I recall correctly.
