Cross question

Hello

From this year on, i have my one tomato variety.

It's a yellow cherry tomato that grows 2 meter high and gives fruits like grapes.
I can eat 3 to 4 kg

of 1 plant!
The taste is very sweet...
But now i have some questions:
First, how can i release the tomato variety?
What's the procedure for that?
And do you guys have some ideas for a name?

Kind regards and sorry if the message is not so clear....
Angelo

Angelo,

Gele zon België sounds classy.

Translated loosely as the Yellow Sun of Belgium

Releasing a variety can be complicated, simple, or just a confliction of wishes and outcomes.
Just exchange seed with people with nothing more than a name such as Gele zon België.
Start your own website for exchanges and/or sales.
Offer to local seed companies for them to trial and list potentially.
Ask for royalties if picked up by a cooperative seedsman.
Seek PVP if you have thousands of dollars not needed for the near or ever future.
You are in Belgium, so contact seed people in Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, France, and or Luxembourg.
All the large companies in the breeding sector that manage genetic resources for their own breeding programs have a strong international orientation. The activities in these companies, and thus the choices concerning maintaining or discarding genetic resources, are strongly driven by the companies' international interests, and not yours, sadly.

Good looking cluster. They look more gold
than yellow to me, but that could be the
lighting in the picture.

Perhaps "Gold Doubloon"?

(Like the old Spanish doubloons, a gold coin
from the era when tomatoes were first brought
to Europe from the New World on tall ships.)

I would absolutely use a distinctive name. Not "Sweet Yellow", etc. For instance "Isis Candy" is a very distinctive name. I will never forget it. Also Jaune Flamme (yellow flame).

[re: "Gold Doubloon"]

There seems to already (or almost already, I
don't know what generation it is) a "Doubloon"
cultivar:

Perhaps you could get together via email and flip
a coin as to who keeps the name.

Alternate possibilities: Inca Gold, Treasure Chest, Gold Coin,
Gold Sovereign, etc.
