Re: Komato

Hi Duane, 

On of our local grocery stores was offering it a ridiculously low price this winter. I'd been hearing about it...I think it is out the North or South Carolina program. I thought it was good but  maybe the American public isn't quite ready for brown tomatoes unless it is at the farmers market with one color playing off another. And maybe it is derivative of the heirloom hybrids that drive some of our list members up the wall.

I’ve never heard of it, though I will look now in the supermarket. I looked up the patent information, which didn’t help as much as I would like. Anyone have any information/impressions of the Komato?
