I grew 46 plants this year and made single plant selections for best flavor and consistent fruit shape/size. I'm still getting quite a bit of segregation for fruit shape which indicates the fruit pictured above were heterozygous for at least 2 shape genes.

For $20, would he say he hated a tomato that he really liked?

I'd like to know as well. Any time fruit simply almost can NOT make it into the house is a darn good indicator!!

Thought I'd ask one more time, since I haven't checked in for a while. Is Sunlucky still in the works? It's a cross that really captured my toma-gination a few years ago, and each planting season I wonder...

I have seed, but due to my agreement with Keith Mueller, I can't distribute. If he chooses, he may release it at a future date. This is one of the most frustrating tomatoes I've ever grown. It took 9 years of growing to finally get something that is stable for high sweetness and not overly susceptible to cracking.

Thanks for the update! Fingers crossed it is able to be released in the future.
