Well, I've got them taken from tomatoes bought at Costco. I haven't grown them out, if you want some, PM me your address again and I'll get them out to you.

Yes but collecting seeds from an F1 tomato and growing them out will result in a very varied diverse F2 generation, where quite possibly none of the plants resemble the shop-bought Campari. The seeds originat from a Dutch breeder, Enza and here is their url: www.enzazaden.com/products/fruitvegets/tomato/cocktail/heatedcrops/campari.aspxThey can hopefully advise where in the USA these seeds can be obtained.

Campari tomato is a commercial green house tomato, it is one of the tasty local tomato bred and grown not very far from us. The tomato is sold as "Tastytom" here. I know a person who grew them for 5 to 6 generations and according to her the Campari strain is stable. If you can buy the tomatoes, you can collect the seeds!

I have, from several sources, seen this about the stability of the breed.
I may just give them a try...but they are so expensive.

Other tasty tomato bred and grown from the same grower is "Aranca". It is sold under the name " sweet vine", the fruit is slightly smaller which is use as cocktail tomato , but I don't know how stabile it is unfortunately.

This would not be the first time that a cultivar is sold as hybrid and is actually stable. Thanks for the info hiven. Just a matter of finding some fruit. Good luck.

I was looking up some tomato varieties on the USDA's PVP database, last night, and saw a couple with expired certificates that were not even released for sale until the F8 generation. The breeder/certificate declared the variety stable.

Galina, If I am not mistaken the Campari (Tasty tom) tomato seed has not been released yet as the breeder/grower still hold the license and still actively growing them! Campari tomato seeds that circulate now is/was collected by certain gardener direct from the tomato fruit (sold in certain supermarket). This would not be the first time that a cultivar is sold as hybrid and is actually stable. Thanks for the info hiven. Just a matter of finding some fruit. Good luck.
