Favorite (for taste) red OP medium or large round, oblate, or beefsteak tomato
Posted: Fri Jun 18, 2021 1:16 am
I've noticed there seems to be a dearth of discussion on tomatoes that meet this criteria, with regard to flavor. So, what's your favorite, for taste?
Here's the criteria:
* Color must be red, with or without stripes
* Open-pollinated (no F1 hybrids)
* Shape must be either round, oblate, beefsteak, blunt oxheart, or oxheart (no plum, bullet, ovate, or pear tomatoes; ruffled beefsteaks are fine). The oxhearts are going in a separate list below. Be sure to mention your favorites that aren't oxhearts, too, even if you mention favorite oxhearts.
* Size must be medium or large (by medium, I mean it can get to be at least 7oz on the large end of its range)
I admit that most of my favorites don't meet this criteria.
Marion and Chapman were probably my two favorites.
Here are some tomatoes I'm specifically curious about, flavor-wise (among any others you favor; I'm editing some of the ones you mention into the list, too; I've grown a small number of these before, but I figured I'd add them to the list anyway; I'm trying to list basically all the red tomatoes in this class that you can actually obtain, currently):
* Abe Lincoln
* Ace
* Ace 55
* AH3
* AHLO
* Aker's West Virginia
* All Red
* Alpine (Sold out for the year, but they should be back another year. SSC calls it golfball-sized, and it is in-stock there.)
* Amateur's Dream
* American Ribbed
* Amish Canning (Assuming 'much larger than Amish Paste' is at least 2oz larger.)
* Andrew Rahart's Jumbo Red
* Arctic Blum
* Ashleigh
* Atkinson
* Aussie (It was great, but I don't remember it much since I didn't get to taste very much of it. I would have been highly pleased to have loads of them, though. I've been meaning to grow it again.)
* Australia
* AYWC
* Azteca B (Sold out for the year, but they should be back another year.)
* Backa
* Backfield

* Burbank Slicing (Out of stock, but they should be back another year.)
* Burgess Crackproof (Out of stock, but they should be back another year.)
* Burke's Backyard Italian Marmande
* Burpee Gloriana (Yes, it's not the medium small size of your typical early tomato--at least it wasn't in my garden in 2018; I grew Burpee Sunnybrook Earliana, too, which Tatiana's says is the same, but they were totally different; BG is a lot bigger, rounder, tastier, and more prolific; it cracked and vined more, and produced all its fruit in a short window, while BSBE was like a small-sized beefsteak that produced all season. My source for both was Sand Hill Preservation Center. They're out of stock of Burpee Gloriana, but I have plenty of seeds if you want to send an SASE for it.)
* Burpees Longkeeper
* Burpee's Quarty Century (Out of stock, but they should be back another year.)

* Colossal Red
* Connie Cain's
* Coop Red (Out of stock, but should be back another year.)

* Mozark
* Surpriz
Also, these pinks that were reported as red:
