Last year I had Sungold and a couple of Cuor Di Bue in one of my greenhouses. This year due to lack of access to compost I used the mulch layer from my tomato beds to start off other seedlings.
Stupidly I also did my new tomato seeds and ended up with 8-9 seedlings in a pot of 3. I left them grow on.
This particular plant has a strong stem like CDB and potato like leaves, it has palm sized fruit but, lots of them on long hanging stems like Sungold. Green ribs and red fruit like CDB yet round fruit like Sungold. No idea what it tastes like yet will find out in a day or two

I had a random tomato seedling come up in the tunnel bed where I grew my sungold last year. So I kept it going in the desperate hope that it would be a sungold. As none of my seeds germinated this year. Knowing that they’re F1 , I thought I’d risk letting it grow again in the desperate hope that all the seed companies were lying to me and it would grow true . However, it’s grown like & looks like a sungold. Unfortunately it’s nothing like as sweet as a sungold. But I’m pleased I tried and it’s still edible.
I’ve been trying to think of good gnome names which might include both tomatoes. All I’ve come up with so far is Sunny Oxen Rider, and Beefy Sun Catcher.
Then I thought of a TV classic and cane up with Golden Bully.

Ok so picking and cutting revealed some interesting characteristics. The skin is thick like a cherry and quite tough like leather. I needed a serrated edge blade to cut it!! Not great, you cut into it and it’s juicy and sweet like a cherry tom. The big surprise is you can peel the skin fresh, I peeled it off a slice with ease.
With this new found knowledge it probably needs a name including easy peel.
