I see there is another thread on this tomato but Tapatalk which I'm using to post pics has limited search functions... So I can't find it.
Grew 1 plant from seeds in the last mmmm swap, nice plant! Nice tomatoes! Picked the first 2 today a little early so a coon or opossum doesn't take a bite out of them. One weighs 1# 6oz, the other 1# 4oz and pretty much blemish free. Think I'll save some seeds.

Maybe that's my seeds. But, it is not important.

OK,I just found the thread I was looking for that describes the various Brutuses,or Bruti that I was looking for and I hope it helps clarify,or not,the situation.

Carolyn, Who forgot to say that the above link is to the 2017 thread referred to in the first post while this current one is 2018.

That's the thread! Thanks Carolyn.
Like I said I picked them early so I'm not seeing the dark red color yet, going to let them ripen a couple days on the counter. Nor am I seeing heavy ribbing/pleated like in The first photo of the link.
Taste test....soon.

Here a few of mine from last year- seeds from Marsha, I believe. This is a beautiful, ribbed tomato

They look like Beauty Lottringa or Mushroom Basket really nice! Mine aren't so ribbed. I'll slice one open soon. I'm eating Katana hybrids tonight and they are good.
