I have these. Definitely survive better through summer stress but they do not taste as good.

Where'd you get them? I've been growing a few tomato plants since I was a kid. Used to get great crops but the last few years I feel like the weather has been so wonky that they don't do as well as they used to. Might be fun to play around with these.

I've never liked tomatos, so that wouldn't be an issue for others like me

Why don't you like tomatoes? Do you like pizza and lasagna, but not raw tomatoes?

You can probably get seeds now, because if they're expected to hit supermarket shelves in the next year then they must already be growing out huge amounts of seed to sell to farmers. It takes a long time to go from a small amount of seeds to a commercial quantity, multiple plant generations. Home gardeners get access to new varieties sooner because they only need a few seeds, but a commercial farmer probably won't grow them until the seed is easier to get in large quantities.

What is the variety called? Where did you source the seeds? I grow several heat resistant varieties and I’m always looking to expand my seed collection.

My friend who grows Roma tomatoes gets his grafted with roots of something similar to withstand the summer heat.
