Green bomb tomato

[dld]

Jt has sent me a few seeds of this and was wondering if anyone else has tried it?

Never heard of it, dld. With a name like Green Bomb I would expect this variety to have an explosive flavor. Is that so?

It's a GWR with a yellow epidermis shaped like Amish Paste. Very tasty. Foliage is droopy.

Here's a photo of a 2008 Green Bombs that's quite ripe-



and here's a plate of 2009 Green Bombs-

You've got me drooling, Stratcat! So what is its breeding, and do we know who did the cross? You say it is "very tasty" but could you be more descriptive? Does it have a spicy flavor like most other green-when-ripe varieties, or is it different to that?

Hi, Skip! Good to see you.

Have a hard time describing flavors. Sweet and fruity with a very good taste come to mind.

The bees did the breeding in my front yard in 2003-Emerald Evergreen (f) X Amish Paste (presumed).

After I shared seed with a couple of my friends here last season, I had one off-color plant that I posted about. Hopefully a stray seed under my nails during sowing.

Penny-Check your mail. Any day your seeds should arrive including this one.

My Green Bomb plant grew as true as can be. Fruit taste was above avg, production was good considering how much plant material was stripped off the plant due to the blight, consistent fruit size, yellow epidermis, not juicy. Definitely a one of a kind at this point.

BTW, Ami, if you read this I owe you seed but no longer have your address from the iother place. PM here with it so I can get it out to you.
