Obtained a sample of Optic Foliar (Transport, Watts, Rev, Atak). Seems quite interesting.

And some Hydro-Green 110. Never conceived of an incubator or a bioreactor as a "holistic" environment. Very soluble, me likey. http://www.myco-fusion.com/#!hydro-green/cv6d

I'll do the recon work with joy. And if you have some interesting and tasty De Colgar I'd gladly do production for a few, or those other Morados you mentioned.
You can consider the ones I've already listed as part of my seed production batch.

Like all good soldiers, they should fall on their own gladius. Roman style or Sepuku, their choice. Ascending or descending aorta, long or short.

And I hear you on the Croatian Brandywine, I was just curious.
Right now I have no idea of what any of the ones that Ilex sent me taste like,so I'll PM you with the list since I don't have your e-mail address,hint, and then you can eat out your corazon , and I'm not sharing this list,obviously, and trusting you to keep it to only you or else I'll check my gladius and come get you, but methinks I should hire a professional gladiator to do the deed.

Just remembering that you did offer to help out,so between us,I'm not sure when,maybe we can set up a trade, and I've already placed some of them,so let me know.

Finally,soft turrone is NOT part of this deal,you to me,I pay.

Morado Alcañiz/Ambite/Fitero/Zamorano... they are different tomatoes. M. Ambite is a good red flat determinate with purple flesh. I've got two morado de Alcañiz. A big ugly not good taste and a very good very regular beefsteak. The big sweet "tardio de Alcañiz" is sometimes called morado de Alcañiz too.

There are hundreds if not thousands of pink/purple beefsteaks in Spain.

The best substitution for "ñ" is "ny".

Thanks so much Ilex,for clarifying that issue.

On the description list you sent me there is no information about one of them.

That variety is Cheste

Easier to ask you here than for me to e-mail you,although I am not allergic to e-mails,as well you know.

Cheste is in Valencia. Purple beefsteak, good shape. Last year it was my best tasting tomato with brix over 9. Another year it had huge production and bland taste.

Thanks for the info Ilex. Sounds as if conditions are important. We have a semi-arid climate here, with little to no rainfall for many months, so perhaps the conditions might be appropriate for them to embarnecer adequately. (No conjugation so it'll be a simple search).

Very excited over Zamorano and the other Morados. Can you tell me a little about Darocense Corp.? Is Tardio-Morado de Alc. over 1 kg?

Gracias!

Tardio de Alcañiz was a bit under 1 kilo, but I grow them hard, no fertlizer and not much water. I'm sure it can get there with more care.

I haven't grown Dacorense.
