Anyone get off type plants? I noticed the progeny were both pink and red. One produced more megas than the others. Not sure if it was the orange/red fruit plant or one of the pink fruit plants. Bad reviews/feedback welcome. One grower sent pics of some nice megas but still trying to get a better sense of whether its worth growing. Thanks.

I have pink tomatoes because the plants are sick and they are ripening weird. Tho as they sit on the counter they turn a normal color. From several different genetics.

I'm growing one of your 6.25 currently. Plant is on the small side & has lots of leaf curl. Looks different then my other Domingos. Will let you know what the fruit looks like once ripe.

Also.... I thought your 9.5 from last year was from your 6.25??

Yes the 9.5 was from the 6.25. But I think the genetics are coming through a bit mongrelish so what you get may be a roll of the dice. This might be expected if its a hybridized lineage which I suspect. I wouldn't consider it a pure domingo. Some of the plants that year were megadoms or something else... a little different. We need one of the old tomato experts to write up a list of traits that would define (what to expect from) the non Domingo lineages.

I grew megazacs a long time ago. I can see those traits (some are a rounder, denser, and more opaque skinned fruit) in the 6.02 LaRue's which seems to be a sort of hybrid too, despite being purely domingo on paper? Thanks for the replies.
