Gunnar, what is Pink King tomato? Is it still available as seed?

What are the parents of those higher numbered tomatoes that you sent Darth, the ones above #115 where your parent listings stopped.

As far as I know, Pink King is an F1 for "professionals", Kozula didn't disclose the parentage of #125 and further, but she wrote that all striped (and dark) had Copia in their pedigree.

Happy New Year!

Any tomato that's violet/purple or "black" with green stripes may be a sibling or closely related. As these are not completely stable yet, anyone can save seeds from the tomato they like best for taste and looks. Pay special attention to #24,125,126,130.

I found the picture in another thread, not where I copied most links, and it's here:
As mentioned, this was in 2009, and only 20% of the children would be similar to this tomato (probably F2).

If anyone tries further selection, aparently chocolate ones were tastier than the violet/purple, but I agree on the look:

Gunnar, Are any of these Kozula varietys that Darth has sent out Dwarfs, Cherrys other than #14 or Short Determinate? Just trying to plan out which varietys to put in the same row or even put in pots.

I don't think there are any cherries except #14. All determinates are labeled as such or "MIX", and I don't have further information about their stature.

Segregation and selection necessary:

117. (Black Zebra x Copia) F2 , red and green stripes, should be striped in different colours
118. (Dyno x Big Zebra) F2, this may be a striped plum, to get something interesting you have to grow at least 10 plants.


A "lost" one in the end:

119. pink determinate, early, tasty, from Steak Sandwich

What become of these? Are there any seeds available? Anything with a "heart" would be interesting.

A "new" cross of Kozula's, (Beeforange x Orange Strawberry) x Copia F2 (photos by Kozula):

[/url]



The initial cross (inside parentheses) was a hard, orange heart tasting like a turnip. By crossing with Copia, more or less flattened hearts resulted, one of them very tasty. Both depicted tomatoes are "children" of that very tasty tomato. As seen, one is a heart and the other flattened striped ("zebra"). Tasting maybe in another week.
