Yes, I discovered it on an abandoned farm growing wild and all over the place. This year would be year 11 or 12, and have been growing it ever since. It is an orange pear or sometimes grape and stabile. It is multifloral, very sweet and hugley productive. there is no other background on it as the people who lived there were probabley gone ten years before. I named it after my mother, Beverley G Slater {Peters}. The farm has long since become over grown with weeds and vines. It can be yellow also depending on conditions..heat, cold. I will not use the obsolete term "Golden". In fact, I am doing everything in my power to get this color coding on track. Pink will be just that, Black? Dark Purple, yellow tomatoes yellow or light yellow. Orange =orange or light orange. No more calling orange tomatoes yellow. Light green, or dark green...no more "White". So when you tune in to TOW you will now have accurate color descriptions. Or as close as possible. Untl we have metallic "GOLD" tomatoes..Yellow or orange.

Dean sent me seeds and I grew them this past summer. I got tons of yellow pear shaped tomatoes, smaller than the typical Yellow Pear or Yellow Submarine, but totally multiflora, and with longer necks porportionally. Also better tasting than Yellow Pear.

On the Sweet Beverly I grew last summer, all the tomatoes had five sepals. And that seems to be the case in all the photos I've seen posted of Sweet Beverly. If you look at the fruit in the picture of the Yellow Riesentraube, you'll see those tomatoes only have four sepals. |

But, I do think that some of the sepals are hidden by stems. Take a look a 10 o'clock....sure looks like 5 sepals to me.  Marty  |

Marty, thanks for taking the time to find some tomatoes in that bunch that have 5 sepals.
The multiflora Sweet Beverly I grew last summer also consistently had long, narrow necks, rather than plum or grape shapes like those in the picture you show.
