I haven't, but it's a unique color! Do you know any other tomatoes with the same color?

I’ve got seeds started, so also looking forward to how it does.

I've read about people getting maybe two or three different shapes from this tomato, some may have been crossed or ?? I do know that it was associated with William Woys Weaver, and for me, that is a severe negative in so far as accurate information about the tomato from sources that use his information.

It its self, may be a good tomato, but the back story may be suspect.
Together, trees make an ecosystem that tempers the extremes of heat & cold, stores lots of water, & makes a lot of humidity. In this environment, trees can live to be very old. To get to this point, the community must remain intact no matter what.

Uluru Ochre from the Dwarf Tomato Project is similar. Green fleshed orange tomato.
