It does look like a nice one. Less seed/gel, more meat, full flavored. As for type, I have no idea. But since you didn't remember the name then maybe it was generically packaged as "Beefsteak" etc etc. Hold onto seed and start them a couple of weeks earlier than your other seeds. If next summer's temps are higher then maybe it will coax more production out of the them. Steve.

Yeah, As Dave mentioned : What did you buy/grow ? A picture can also help. To my experience , non cherries would have limited number of buds/flowers per truss while some cherries would have clusters like grape. But then I have had some cherry variety that had not been like that. This is definitely a cherry/grape. No beefsteak will grow like it. Sey

Thanks for trying to help. The seeds came from a trade with no info except for "Heirloom tomatoes - 64 varieties" on the small ziplock baggie. The taste is mild, slightly acidic, and the texture is kinda mushy/mealy. It's not the greatest flavor to me but the fruits are beautiful. You're right though - not enough info. I may stick with some of my other named varieties that have better taste like Paul Robeson. What are some other black tomatoes that you all recommend for flavor?

We have 2 San Marzano plants. One doesn't seem to like it's spot and is stunted, but it's the first to get ripe tomatoes. The other one is huge and knows no bounds and is still forming new tomatoes even in 100 degree heat. The Agapanthas you see is a great for attracting bees and hummingbirds. I always plant flowers for that purpose near my veggies. We water ours by drip once daily for about 15 minutes. They seem to like it. I am a bit of a rebel and I do use aspirin spray every couple weeks. I think it works. Below is the stunted one with the ripe tomato. It is in a cage to prevent critters from attacking it. We live on the edge of the wilderness and there are many critters. I didn't plant tomatoes for their benefit!! The dead plant you see is cilantro with lots of coriander seeds. I'm hoping the aroma of that will defer any critter away from that one ripe tomato. We will pick it tonight.
