I like to breed novel tomatoes however I dont have a name for this one yet. Very good flavor but an odd color combo. The skin is pink and green and the flesh is a bicolor of green near the skin turning burgundy red towards the center. Semi-determinate potato leafed with good fruit holding ability despite a fair amount of late blight knocking the leaves down. The maternal line goes back to a variety of thirty years ago that produced 37 tons per acre in California called Hy 337 (PSX33790) 3 oz square processor with good res to vert, fusarium 1 & 2, alternaria, gray leaf spot, etc. This was crossed to my variety called Green Bell Pepper tomato. This hybrid was crossed to a hybrid of Celebrity and Green Bell. This four way cross was stabilized to an F-7 as an improved Green Bell tomato. This clone was crossed then to my Brandystripe variety , a sibling of my Vintage Wine. The seed is now F-4 and ready for a name. No one else has the seed of this until I release it at tatermater seed. Comments welcomed
