That looks like a great tomato! I've never heard of it, but will look for next year. (Yes, Heritage has it.) The new one I'm happiest with this year is an intermediate plant, not terribly prolific (which is okay, since i don't want to be inundated with tomatoes) The fruit is perfectly round, perfectly red, uniform, about 2" in diameter. It has a thin skin and tiny stem pith, hardly leaves a dimple when I quarter it for a sandwich plate. Just a really pretty tomato.
Too bad I lost the labels off the tray when I transplanted the seedlings, and Heritage Seeds doesn't put pictures on their package, and I lost some young plants when spring suddenly turned on us. Will have to save the last one for seed (my favourite thing about heirlooms)
Better pay closer attention next year...... !!!
