Momentado tomato
What do you all think of the Momentado tomato?
The descriptions of it make it sound like the supposedly archetypal red cherry tomato, which is to say, it's actually a very rare kind of tomato, and not the dime a dozen some people might think (I know because I've been searching for one with its exact trait-set for a long time; if I were looking for an F1 hybrid, a small cherry, a midseason cherry, or a determinate, it would be easier).
It's red, indeterminate, early, round, a large cherry, open-pollinated, regular-leaf, and said to be prolific. It ranked #9 in MAGTAG 2008 (grown by Mary, AKA Manure Queen). Sand Hill Preservation Center sells it. I read a rumor that there are MAGTAG 2008 pictures on Tomatoville.
Anyway, that's pretty much all I know about it.
