The other side. Notes show it emerged from a 6X megabloom, though only 4 segments grew well.

I have never had a big tomato last so long on the vine during the summer months: July 12 to September 9, 59 days. Plant was in the shadiest spot of the high tunnel which was shielded with shade cloth. This tomato was low on a plant with heavy foliage, in the middle of the north row, so received very little direct sunlight.

No publicity for this one, since a bigger one is on the vine and still growing!

The large Domingo tomato flashed color on September 8th. Projected final weight and lineage designation:

Domingo (4.493? DT 2014)(4.55 Wahl 2012)

Taped CC's put this Domingo at a projected final weight of 5.274 lbs., but this is unrealistic because of bumps and crevices and because others of this variety have weighed in substantially on the light side due to hollow seed locules and a paucity of seeds. I can still hope for cracking 5 lbs. though?
