August 22 Lilibet 2 vs Lilibet 5

one of these two tomatoes I'm thinking about progressing with next year ....... but which one?  Although Lilibet 2 was the healthier plant and very productive, I'm looking for the best flavour ......... likely Lilibet 5 will be the one .... these F4 saved seeds will produce F5 fruit .... will be interesting to see how much variation still occurs

here is Lilibet 5 tending toward warm orange tones

Taste Notes  8+:  yummy, juicy rich meaty yellow with pink marbling; worth a regrow; sweet/acid balance



Lilibet 2 is more of a light yellow with pink marbling

Taste Notes  7:  not the flavour of 5 - watery, meaty juicy

and cooler yellow tones sliced ..... also pink marbling
