Customer bought in this cherry tomato (likely indeterminate as it’s massively bushy) but doesn’t get any riper than the yellow picture

Stems are very hairy, fruit tastes…very bleh and slightly sweet

    After some research, I believe this is a wild tomato that has been cross pollinated as the fruit is yellow. You might have to dig deeper but I’m pretty sure this is the right track.

    Solanum habrochaites or Lycopersicon hirsutum is the scientific name.

    These look 100% like what you get when you grow out rootstock. The plants also look like rootstock.
