dinkadoo- I looked at the Baker Creek site and they have it, but it is the Reisentomate (the Reisentraub is more of the traditional cherry tomato type)... what it looks like is that all these sites are taking pictures of 2 or 3 tomatoes clustered together upside down. On the Amishlands she mentions Reisentomate is another name it goes by... German for travel tomato. Baker Creek also gave a bad review for it and said it had a sour taste, which isn't what I'm getting at all... It's not as sweet as my black cherry tomatoes, but it isn't more sour than my red cherry tomatoes.

The one thing I will mention that I don't like is the tomato plant is huge and long stemmed. The way it escaped from the cage reminds me of a Daddy Long Legs spider. It branches up, then down, then up again, with the fruit coming in upside-down on the end of each leg. Other than that, I'm in love with it.

Right you are! Should have done my homework. I do remember thinking that there were too many other goodies out there to figure this one out! But the traveler looks manageable. Thanks for keeping me on the road!

LVVCHAP- I bought them from Tradewindsfruitstore.com. But I also saw them on the Amishland Heirloom Seed site. I tend to buy more from Tradewinds because they offer free shipping on any order over $10. I would recommend this tomato to anyone who likes to grow tomatoes, really!
Thanks, I am going to look for them.
