Or just cause more confusion and cross Reisetomate with Riesentraube (a multiflora) and call it RieseReise--ya know, "I" before "E"... and we wouldn't have to worry which one we spelled wrong--we'd only have to worry which one(s) we pronounce wrong!

Wouldn't it have to be "ReiseRiesen"?

As in RiseReason? or ReasonRise? HAHA! Site's or Chrome's spell checker OK'd RiseReason with question mark in one line but not both ReasonRise! When I delete or change words the red underlines go away! Strange results.

I've seen a few sources call Reisetomate Brain. The name has apparently possibly been circulating since at least 2009 (probably before). See post #6 in that link. It's possible they were referring to another variety as Brain, though (that's how it looks, but it's in the same sentence as Reisetomate as if they are tomatoes with similarities).

One person got their 'Brain' tomatoes from a French source.

Another got their tomatoes from a Croatian source. In this case, Brain was a translated name and the seller called it "rajčica mozak". Here's another site that refers to it as the Croatian Brain name.

Then there's this eBay source, which is Croatian. And there's this YouTube video. And this foreign language website.

Since I brought it up, in post #29, though, where I first saw it called Brain, with the heavier weight advertised that I mentioned in a different post, was here.

Anyway, I'm not saying we should say Brain is another official name for it, but it does appear sometimes to be called that, for whatever reason. It is a pretty rare name for it, though, it seems.

Reisetomate has usually been 3 - 4 ounces each, in my garden. That's the whole thing, not pieces.

Thanks for the input there, Tormato!

You could call it Raisin. That would go along with the multi-flora-thing, since Barry's Crazy Cherry looks like a bunch of grapes, anyway. I'm not sure that it would look like a raisin, though, but you never know.

Speaking of brain tomatoes... I have 6 Mushroom Basket tomatoes growing, they are heavily fluted/ruffled, on one plant I have two full sized tomatoes fuzed together, it's going to be a 2# brain. I'll post pics when it starts turning red.

@pmcgrady

That sounds pretty cool (fluted fused tomatoes). If we crossed Reisetomate with a fluted tomato that might look pretty interesting.

Had my first fruit set on Reisetomate. It wasn't from that first flower pictured above but the fruit is already crazy shaped.

I picked a couple fruit tonight. Mine are not very big, maybe three inches across. I thought they would be bigger.
