A vote for Jaunne Flamme from Atlanta. Does well in heat.

Redbaron · February 25, 2014

I have grown Charles Herring Porter and Eva Purple Ball. The heat here in Oklahoma was too much for Eva Purple Ball and while it did produce here, certainly not as good as some others. My Charles Herring Porter on the other hand did very well, even setting some fruit when the temps got over 100 degrees F. That was pretty surprising actually.

I would call the size of Porter a bit like a salad and larger than most cherries, but not really big enough for slicing or other uses. The flavor was good but not great. However, considering it was setting fruit when many shut down, and it has a long shelf life, and good productivity, and no disease problems at least here, all in all I am certain it will always have a place for me in Oklahoma.

I'm in Virginia- we grow Flamme every year. It does great here.

Thanks for all the replies, looks like I will have to make room for all

Sorry, that's the way it was labeled when I received the seed

I believe the correct spelling is Jaune Flammée. It means Fiery Yellow.

Perhaps Jaune Flammé. But somehow in English another e was added, and the accent dropped.

Nope. Doug is correct in his post above with two m's and two e's.

This variety and many many more were received from Norbert in France, who also posts here now, in a huge trade in 1992 with four of us in the US trading with him.

Bill Minkey was one of them in the US and it's he who got the Jaune Flammee ( I forget how to do the accent mark) one. The other three were Craig LeHoullier, ( nctomatoman), Joe Bratka, who sent all his seeds from Norbert to me, and also seeds were sent to me as well.

We cross referenced our selections so there would be no duplications.

Many now well loved varieties came from that trade, just one of them being Cuostralee.

Zone 5-Consistent Rain most years

Matina- decent tasting early, productive, very trouble free and easy. Never has split for me. Does OK in containers too. Tomatoes are on the smaller side. Similar to Stupice but Matina edges out Stupice in taste for me by just a wee bit. I have grown this one to make sure I get tomatoes in late June while I am waiting for the really awesome eaters to finish up.

Loved Eva Purple Ball and Jaune Flamme last year!
JF produced earlier for me than Stupice and has a much richer flavor to my palate.
EPB was our favorite tomato of the season. It was a little later, but once it started, it produced buckets until our late October frost.
All of the larger tomatoes in the photo below are EPB and the orange ones are JF. Can't go wrong with either in my opinion. YMMV

Labradors2 · February 27, 2014

Nice pics Kelli.

Now I'm getting excited about growing both varieties this season

Out of those, I have only grown Matina. Didn't do well for me at all.
