I have a seed packet from a trade, marked S.M.F.L.
Any idea what it is?

Is that one from [mention]Nico[/mention] in Spain. He do have a with a name similar to Super Multi Floral Locus that he mentions somewhere. The buds on it look like broccoli heads at a point.

I did too! I really thought that this was something that only Tormato could name and was going to direct you to go look in his direction.

Well, if the M is really an N, and an A was dropped, I did name it; Seek-No-Further Love Apple (SNFLA).
However, if the M is really an M, with no dropping of the A, I have no clue.

Now, if you decide to trial it, and it turns out to be a RL plant that wants to grow straight up and perhaps be the tallest in your garden, having pink beefsteaks that retain green shoulders for an excruciating long time, when sliced open is virtually solid meat (the most solid fruit I've ever seen), has the most perfectly firm (not hard) texture, and the most perfectly balanced tangy flavor (neither sweet nor tart), then it just might be SNFLA. If it doesn't grow like that, then I again have no clue.

[mention]Tormato[/mention] My SNFLA didn't have green shoulders at all, in 2016. The plant was a modest size, too. It's always interesting to hear how plants do in different conditions. It could have been a cross, I guess, though. But, green shoulders are very rare in my garden, and the soil was probably low in nitrogen or something. I probably see yellow shoulders on tomatoes more than green (but SNFLA was perfectly uniform in coloring).

Marsha, maybe the seeds as well indicated by the friend Whoz are mine, they were sent to me by a friend from Niagara from tville years ago, he named it "SMFL" and told me that its name is due to super multiflora, as they say, I have never seen a plant with so many flowers and so much production, perhaps it is a semi indeterminate plant, its tomatoes are medium-sized red and some are heart-shaped and have great flavor, every year I grow them.

I'd love to try them next year. It does look eye catching.

Shule, yes, I will send you photos later of the ripe tomato, I have tried to look for old photos of said tomato and I have not found them, I think they will take little time to mature.
