Weighed in at a nice 11.3 ounces:

And tasted great!

A very nice fellow tomato grower sent them to me from France:

Very Happy Camper today!

I believe you already know that in extremis you can actually
buy them from there using a Visa and have a good
expectation of them arriving in your mailbox.

I have been growing Dona F1 for over ten years and it is
still my favorite. Of course it is a mild flavor but I appreciate
it for its subtlety and complexity.

Just for general information, Vilmorin is a large plant breeder
and has released many tomato varieties. Most of them are
aimed at the commercial greenhouse market. I believe that
Dona was originally in that category until about 2007, when
Vilmorin discontinued it. A few years later they re-released
it in response to gardener demand. You can see on the
face of the packet where it says "Mes cultures facilitees",
which means "My easy growing". That suggests that it is
now regarded as a "consumer's" or "gardener's" variety.
Fortunately Vilmorin also caters to that market.

Interestingly there is another Vilmorin release called
Rebelion F1, dating from around 2008. It is one that they
claim to taste good, which is a rarity in their promotional
material. It is billed as a large beefsteak type with a ribbed
configuration. It's hard to discern what the actual
parentage may be but I conjecture from the results of a
lot of searching that it is largely from the Marmande OP
line, via the Spanish RAF and likely has some American
Beefsteak in there too. Basically unavailable, even in
Europe, through any channel except commercial
greenhouse suppliers, but I have a few growing and have
high hopes for it. We will see how it works out.
