Feel free to use it elsewhere if you want. I can send you a full size copy.

If "Taste" is only half as delicious as Blush is, then I'll have two of your varieties on my "eternal list"!

I have either Jazz or Orange Jazz just starting to blush right now. Color of fruit is a little funky but should change within the next couple of days. There are about 10 fruits on the plant with barely any foliage. One of the fruits is HUGE.
Plant was one of 2 left over from the summer/fall. The other plant was a Big Beef Hybrid which also looks horrible and has over 15 tomatoes. I planted a bunch of Jazz/O Jazz for spring time. They definitely did not like starting in the heat last fall or was it the white flies? I will post pictures once the fruit looks nice. Come to think of it we ate one already and it was Jazz and delicious. |

Jazz, which is pink, is really big. The biggest tomato we have developed, by far.
Like other beefsteaks, flavor varies between fruits, but some always seem to be very good. Unfortunately, it is susceptible to Verticillium and to white-fly spread Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl virus. So is Orange Jazz. We are working on similar new varieties that have better resistance. They are still a few years off. |

Taste is very good. We developed it a few years ago, with a chef at Taste Catering in San Francisco.
Our top lines turned out to have low productivity though, and so we went back and re-selected for plants with "Taste" flavor, but better productivity. When I see it growing in Mexico later this week, I will know if it is ready to release or not. I'm crossing my fingers. |

When Daisy had a toy or treat she wanted to save for later, she'd "bury" it in the middle of the living room by making burying motions with her muzzle. The other dog was an escape artist, and Daisy was her loyal follower. About once a month or so, we'd go looking for them, and it was easy to track them down because people noticed the pair of them. |

What a difference 2 days makes:
The last tomato on this plant started the same color, but turned into a beautiful striped vivid orange-pink. It occurred duing our coldest weather. These look ready to pick. |

Is that multi-lobed shape the norm for OJ?

That looks like Yellow Jazz (which does have that lousy shape frequently).
Orange Jazz is much more consistently rounded, and it typically has a nice blossom end too. Yellow Jazz needs work. Which is why we are not selling seed for the variety. |

Just back from Mexico, and there will be photos... within the next week.
Lots of exciting fruits, and we made some leaps forward with regard to productivity and disease resistance this year. |

I picked those 2 fruits too early; only ate one and letting the other change colors inside the house. Here is one changing color still on the vine. It has the beginnings of the beautiful one I mentioned earlier. |
