I grew the polish linguisa for paste and they were really big and productive and will grow next year. I never had a chance to make sauce with it but heard it make a great sauce.

Japanese truffle pink was very productive for me. It is very meaty with some juice and it is easy to peel. I used it for cooking although it is good for fresh eating as well. They also set tomatoes in the hot weather.

Here is the picture of the late flush of tomatoes in September.

Black from Tula was also very productive. It liked cooler weather better. Black tomatoes on the picture are BFT.

Amen, antmary

I am growing Japanese Truffle BLACK. But it is very late. Right now there is a whole bunch of them on the vine. With surprising nice October weather I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will get some to blush.

I have another brown heart shaped tomato that has be VERY productive.I got the seeds out of a store bought heirloom couple of years ago.

Here is a picture.

The picture below is a better one.

And my BFT is different. They are ruffled and much bigger. Here it is;

The Black from Tula and Black Japanese Truffle were both ones I was considering. I had both of them at the Penn State Master Gardeners' tomato tasting and they were both very good.

Wasn't sure about productivity though.

me and several friends have grow JBT here for some years now and it is well loved. Midseason for sure, not late. I have had lots of dark ones that I love. Black plum is small one that should be in everyone garden. Kiss the sky was cherry this year. Kazachka came in interesting mini beef shape? was prolific and tasty even in shadier location. Black Magic was my absolute winner- started early, still producing, taste superb. Fioletovyi Krugiy produced many large round darkish balls, Dana Dusky Rose midseason has excellent presense. For earlier one Chernomor is good, although was fussy for me this year. From previous years 1884 Purple was hard to beat in production, just loaded and buttery tasting. I am hoping to fit Black Yum Yum from last year into next year garden plans, taste and production was excellent... Indian stripe is the one you might want to start with. It is just outstanding for most people growing it. I am going to grow PL variety next year. For smaller space you can consider dwarf varieties- they all good- Dwarf wild fred, Boronia, Perth pride. Oh yeah and this year Noire Charbonneuse beat all Black Krims I ever grown/ and I did not have good year this season/

I did a round of container trials this year.... Dwarf wild Fred came up the winner out of several kinds. Good producer with a nice growth habit. Chestnut plum with a faint green striping on the skin, with a good bloody beefy black tomato inside. Meaty and juicy, they were good fresh, cooked, canned, dehydrated and particularly nice for smoking.

I'm not usually one for seeds newer than ww2, but this paste is a keeper. I' grow it against Juane Flamme, our favorite orange paste tomato, in next years garden to see how they compare.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will look into all of those mentioned.

I'm curious. Is there a difference between the 1884 and the 1884 Purple?

Jeff Casey of Casey's seeds got seeds of 1884 which is tasty pink beef and shared them with Tania of tatianatomatobase few years back. What grew was delicious dark beef. Tania named it 1884 purple to highlight color difference.
