Woodle Orange! A little excited because it "evolved" back to orange. The original seed must have been from a cross-pollinated fruit.
I have grown Woodle for several years. Dandy little tomato. It is always red. Here's how Baker Creek describes it: "75 days. Large, round, smooth fruit are nearly perfect in shape, being a brilliant tangerine color."
Well, this plant has overcome the dominant red gene. Kicked it out! They have been neither large nor round. That's okay. They haven't been with the 75 day group either! No, red or orange, these are right there with the Early Girls. I've got 3 reds and this 1 orange plant this year.
I've always enjoyed the flavor. I guess, orange or not, I will need to stop calling it "Woodle" but I like that name!
Next --- @marshallsmyth 's de-hybridized Lemon Boy! The plants are doing well and, although I haven't tasted any, the fruit is just ripening! It can't go by that name. Besides, I don't like the lemon idea! Maybe all I need is a woodle inspiration.
