Daniel Burson
A cross between Indian Stripe and Daniels. Indian Stripe itself is a more productive, earlier strain of Cherokee Purple. I'm not going to review the taste of this, which was really pretty bland, as the tomato was ripened completely off the vine from a green stage. The plant was in the more damp/shady corner of the greenhouse and the string holding the vines up snapped, damaging the stems. Botrytis came for it early so I cut the plant down to prevent it spreading to the rest of the plants in the greenhouse. It seems a very good yielder though and I really like the colouration. Inside it was very meaty with an excellent, creamy texture. Would grow it again to let it prove itself under less stressful conditions!
