Somehow in my limited space I got convinced to try Jaune Flammée. What's your experience with it? Two people I've spoken to who I trust love it.

I'm not John but will say it is one of my must grow every year maters. It has good flavor. I wouldn't say great. It produces heavily here, doesn't split and fairly disease resistant. And will set in the heat. So one of the best overall I've found for my conditions. Very consistent every year. Jay

Good production, decent flavor. Probably won't grow again because there are better varieties.

I love them for fresh eating/snacking but I have to convince people to try them. They are semi determinate and pretty early; quite productive of small size cluster or cocktail tomatoes. Orange outside and red inside. They are very fruity, juicy and delicious. I had some early issues with one plant in 2009 (maybe early blight) but otherwise never had a problem. I am putting one Flamme and one Stupice on my deck in pots for fresh eating whenever we are making a sandwich, boca burger, tacos or salad. Cocktail tomatoes like Flamme would be great marketed to certain restaurants or co ops.

I really liked the flavor of these. And the productivity was quite good. I'm definitely a fan of the larger tomatoes though, which is why I haven't grown it in a while, but it makes a great addition chopped up in a salad! Yummm... Lee

I can say I will not be growing it again. It was really sour for me, and I hate sour tomatoes. On the positive note, it is pretty ;D

Amarillo = Juane Flammee x Sun Gold. I sent the F1 seed to Australia, got some F2s back, grew the results a couple of times, and sent the best results to Dean.
I thought Juane Flammee was one of the prettiest orange saladettes I've grown and far superior to Sungella, which looks almost identical, but is mushy and tasteless.
J. Flammee has flavor, a bit unusual in fact, strong flavor I thought, has a nice skin that doesn't crack, beautiful orange color with a red heart, about the size and shape of a pullet egg.
The Amarillo I selected out looks very similar to J. Flammee, but has a higher shoulder, is more firm fleshed, doesn't have that wangy flavor, produces tons of tomatoes, but doesn't have the really nice 9-tomato trusses like the original Jaune Flammee. I need to go back to the F1 cross and get another looksee for an F2 with the longer trusses.

Amarillo is a tomato machine, and my chefs love it. I had many lbs off of 4 plants and it just kept going till frost!!

Amarillo seeds are available from Dean. Also, Bama has a row of Amarillo growing, and he may be willing to select seeds from the best plants to share with all. I'll post pictures in a couple of days. My photobucket is being obstinate today.
