Yes.

Ditto on the YES above as to it being OP and will come true from saved seed as long as there was no cross pollination or much more rarely as with every variety, a mutation.

Carolyn, who introduced Opalka and is glad you like it as do many.

let me know if you want to trade some of those seeds

I see you joined GW quite recently so perhaps you didn't notice that there's a separate Tomato Forum for listing seeds wanted/seeds traded.

if you look on this first page at the first thread and above it and to the right you'll see a link to the Tomato Exchange Forum.

That Forum was created b'c to tell the truth this general Discussion Forum was just filled with seeds requests and offers of seeds to trade, so Spike, who owned the site at the time created the Tomato Exchange Forum, the Pest and Disease Forum and the Photo Forum and the links to all of those are at the top of this first page.

Hope that helps.

tuck in my shirt

we found the Opalka are not very seedy. we saved seed from maybe 24 tomatoes and got maybe 1,000 seeds.

next year we are only growing two paste tomatoes.

the opalka because it taste so good and is large.

amd San Maranzo because the skins come off so easy.

we got our Sans seeds from a local seed company late because our Amish paste seedlings got over heated and we ended up with very few and wanted a heirloom paste tomato.

they had some seed left over from a special order and we got 10,000 seeds for very cheep. we grew about 500 seedlings so we are fix up for seed.

some times if you hold your mouth just right good things happen.
