These are Clint Eastwood Rowdy Red tomatoes! Saw them when I went to the Tomatomania sale back in May & decided they would be a good one to try! There are a bunch on the plant--can't wait til they ripen!
"Named by Gary Ibsen, the seeds of this variety came to Gary from
tomato breeder, Archie Millett, who crossed his favorite tomato
varieties over many years to finally produce a disease resistant tomato
with intense flavor. 'Clint Eastwood's Rowdy Red,' is an open-pollinated
tomato (78 days to maturity). The tall, indeterminate, plant produces
lots of 2-inch (6-10 oz.), deep-red, round tomatoes with a subtle point
on it's end. Fruit has robust, "not for sissies," bold, tomatoey
flavors, with a firm, juicy flesh, that invites snacking in the garden,
cooking, canning and seed-saving. Its fruity sweetness is perfectly
balanced with plenty of acidity, earthy nuances and complexity." Info from Gary ibsen's site " Tomatofest.com"
