Most Wanted Tomato - Page 4

Lindalana · March 26, 2016

Yablochnyi Lipetskiy would be it. I first learned about it on Russian Tomato forum, but it was a person who saved the seed since 80th and then shared with many, so it was not available to buy anywhere. It probably had original name which was different, it was pre internet USSR variety.
I kept asking Tania about it and was so excited when she eventually obtained it in a large seed exchange with another tomato grower.

When you find it, let me know what it is!

Jeannine Anne · March 26, 2016

Yeah, I will. I have never been able to find a really good sauce one and there has to be one or two out there, there has to be.

Picardy is a good general purpose tomato for sauce and slicing but a bit long season for your climate. A cross of Earlinorth X Picardy might be worth a try to combine traits.

Thank you Fusion. I do have a glass greenhouse so most things are OK here and I live 20 minutes from Tania so if she can grow it so can I..someone told me Opalka and I had those seeds so I have sown them but for next year I intend to really research this closely and find the best I can for the purpose.. I will not this one

Thank you

Pink San Marzano

Read about that on a blog, I'm looking for a good San Marzano variety to can (trialing 4 kinds this year), and of course searches don't bring up anything commercial or non. The blog writer is not selling or giving away seeds (this year). I asked.

AND while I'm going on about seeds I can't find, purple sprouting broccoli that will actually overwinter here decently. The seeds I've found are all from the UK or come in packets of huge amounts that I can't possibly use.

(I've got a summer variety so we'll see how that does this year. I'm still specifically looking for Red Fire F1 or Red Head OP to try and overwinter under a low tunnel.

)

While inventorying all my pre-MMMM collection (many packs are several years old) over the weekend, I came across a pack of Flortis cherry. Now after reading this post, where did I put it? Meanwhile, PM me your mailing address, as I should be able to find it again.

Did either of you read my post above about the Flortis cherry,post #38? I said that I lost some links when fetching another one .If not I guess when I have time I'll try to again find the thread here at Tville,with Mark commenting,also Alex from Canada,and the proper name for it is Ciliega.No such thing as a Flortis cherry.

Thanks Carolyn.

When I find it, I'll give it the true label.

I looked a bit and it turns out that Mark bought it from the seed Co in Italy that was named Flortis,as I thought.

I don't understand how Ciliega (indeterminate) and Ciega Nana (dwarf) can be the same thing. I'm tempted to grow the Ciliega seeds that I have recently acquired from a reputable seed saver in Germany, but I have the feeling they are going to be tall!

Linda,I looked up the translation of nana

http://translation.babylon-software....-english/nana/

and it can also mean midget,which certainly explains the size of the fruits

And most of the pictures are from Italy if you look closely.

Nana or nano means dwarf or midget indeed!

Something like the way they named Nanocherry I've got here to mention it's very small in size/height.

Cole_Robbie · March 30, 2016

Nana or nano means dwarf or midget indeed!

I really like the tomato "Mano." Tatiana's site says it is from Hungary:

Is Mano a derivation of Nano?
