"Now, the seed from a hybrid will not come back true to type. The seed that comes out of this tomato, if you planted it and grew it the next year, would grow, could grow, any of it's relative. The seed from the Sungold, similarly, it you plant it you don't know what you're going to get. You can even get red cherry tomatoes, different sizes, different characteristics. The seed from the Heirloom, a Heritage or an Antique tomato will grow true to type. The seed that comes out of this, Rose de Barne, will grow a Rose de Barne plant the next year. The Black from Tula, the same, any of these will grow true to their variety.
