Boutique Tomatoes progress

Boutique Tomatoes · September 29, 2017

Still plugging away, but getting closer the past few years. I've just about rounded out my color palate and am working on disease resistance and enhanced shelf life genetics now.

I do have one cherry line at F5 that I think is a OP release candidate. I don't know that it has any significant disease resistance, but the flavor and appearance are winners with the people who've tried it. These have the gs + Aft combination where the antho appearance is more concentrated in the stripes so on these 'white' lines they actually do show as purple.

I taste stonefruit, where my buddy who walks the field and tastes with me says he thinks it has a smoky taste. (but he wants to smoke everything, so that may just how his taste buds interpret good flavor)

I selected 2 plants this year for a larger grow out for the F6 generation next year.

Line #1 (picture taken on a sunny day)

Line #2 (picture taken on a cloudy day)

My current working name is Magenta Snow, a nod to Purple Rain...
