I received some new crosses from jcm05, and three turned out nicely. By far the most outstanding is Sweet Quartz X Indian Stripe. Oddly, of the three, it is the only one where the female parent was a cherry type, and yet it has the most size of the three. I would have thought it would be the other way around. Some pics...

Nice pics! But how do they taste? I grew Sweet Quartz years ago. I remember I was favorably impressed by it's taste. ;D

Overall a nicely balanced flavor. As with any tomato, they are best eaten at the perfect stage of ripeness. These look like pink/purples quite long, then turn red overnight.
