Hillbilly Reg Leaf

Bama mater · November 1st, 2009, 08:42 AM

I messed up and ordered Hillbilly PL from SSE, I didn't realize it was a PL till I looked yesterday, I wanted to order Hillbilly RL. I have a 250 ct pack, Is there anyone willing to trade RL for PL say 25, 50 or even 100? I'll trade the unopened pack if anyone desires.

I've got what I'm calling Hillbilly...but it may not be. It looks/tastes like Hillbilly, but it is a locally grown one that may or may not have been a 'real' Hillbilly at one point in time. I don't know leaf type on it, though. Hillbilly is a WV 'native' and there are literally hundreds of Hillbilly types around here that are all very similar...and most of them are unknown parentage/unnamed. Most of them just are known by the 'yellow striped tomato grandpa used to grow'...

I have a couple different "hillbilly's" too, but since I haven't grown them out yet, not sure if they're RL or not. Hope you can find them.

If I'm not mistaken the variety called "Hillbilly" is a reg leaf variety.

From Tatiana's TomatoBase...

Indet., regular leaf plants produce large 1+ pound orange-yellow fruit with red mottled skin and red streaks within. Very sweet tasting. Said to be one of the best tasting bi-color tomatoes.
