Re: looking for Rebel Starfighter VT16
Is Rebel Starfighter VT16 the same as Marsha’s Starfighter or is that a newer cross?

Re: looking for Rebel Starfighter VT16
I've never heard of Rebel Starfighter VT16, so I don't have it, but I do have one called Rebel Alliance. I wonder if it's related in any way besides the name? The Rebel Alliance is a dark tomato, mini-heart in shape, small salad in size, and I think multi floral and semi-determinate.

[mention]FarmerShawn[/mention] Rebel Starfighter (cross of Xanadu Picasso x RHK GWR Heart) and Rebel Alliance (cross of Not Purple Strawberry to Zluta Kytice) both have the same breeder, Russ Crowe, and both were introduced by Galactic Magic Seeds.

Re: looking for Rebel Starfighter VT16
It's not newer, it's a different cultivar selected from the same cross. I grew the original F1 ftom Russ's cross that had all the Starfighter selections taken from it. I selected Marsha's Starfighter heart (no antho, yes brick red flesh and stripes), and Marsha's Starfighter Beefsteak, a striped beefsteak with antho and brick red flesh and huge production. Some Russian growers have them listed.

Re: looking for Rebel Starfighter VT16
Thanks for the clarification, Marsha! I have seeds from you for the beefsteak but it did poorly for me last summer. Friends I shared plants with had better luck and said it was awesome. One saved seeds so we have a good supply now! Will be planting again this season and hope it performs better for me. I think I had some bad straw bales that may have been sprayed with something. Will be using new ones from a different vendor this year!

Re: looking for Rebel Starfighter VT16
Hmm...now I'll have to do a growout of my saved seed (F7) of Marsha's Starfighter (Prime Heart F6). My memory is of an antho striped heart. But, I could be wrong.Ginger2778 wrote: ↑Mon May 31, 2021 3:38 pmIt's not newer, it's a different cultivar selected from the same cross.

Re: looking for Rebel Starfighter VT16
Here are my pictures from my Rebel Starfighter Prime (1st photo) and Starfighter VT16 (second photo)! Both very tasty although I liked the flavor and productivity of VT16 more! Would definitely grow them both again.
