Haley's Purple Comet didn't germinate so I've replaced with De Barao Black which has germinated today.

Has anyone grown Buffalosun before? If so what was the verdict.

I'm not as strict as you, I still have my F1 favourites, they're getting fewer though.

Some of these seeds are bit old or dodgy, so it's going to be a mixture of 8 plants from whatever germinates.
Black Beauty - I don't really like anthocyanin tomatoes, but the seed was given to me by a friend so I feel obliged to grow it
Big Daddy F1 - red beefsteak
Burlesque F1 - red beefsteak
Bountiful F1 - red, ribbed beefsteak
Honeymoon F1 - pink beefsteak
Rebel Yell - red beefsteak, Stump of The World x Bear Claw
Girl Girl's Weird Thing - dark, striped beefsteak, a mutation of Green Zebra
Big Cheef - dark beefsteak, though I think this didn't grow true to type the last time I tried it, Brandywine Sudduth x unknown
Daniel Burson - dark beefsteak, Indian Stripe (a strain of Cherokee Purple) x Daniels
Rosedale - dark pink beefsteak, from a cross of Cherokee Purple x Summerpink F1
Cowboy - dark beefsteak

My Honeymoon last year was very poor germination and non existent this year. That's the end of the packet.
RE: 2026 tomato selection - toomanytommytoes - 15-04-2026
Where were the seeds from? Mine were from Pennard Plants. I think the seeds didn't germinate last year either. The packet was only from 2024, and I got good germination a few years ago from the packet I ordered in 2022. The seeds were very small, which is quite unusual for a beefsteak tomato.
RE: 2026 tomato selection - Garrett - 15-04-2026
Funny that the F1 seeds haven't germinated. Given the premium price you'd think they'd shoot up!
