| I'm growing Barlow Jap tomatoes from seeds I received in a swap here a couple of years ago. Since the package said the seeds were not bagged, I've been (unsuccessfully) trying to find pictures and info about this tomato on line. I found just a couple of pictures... one has green shoulders like mine http://2manytomatoes.blogspot.com/2010/07/barlow-jap-reviews-2011.html Does anyone have info? My seed pack says they are original seed from Brita Barlow... |

| In the link below is more history and several pictures of this variety, no upside down fruits to show the shoulders, but green shoulders are common on fruits that have not yet developed full color. It was first introduced by Maria Stegner of Blue Ribbon Seeds and there was a LOT of controversey abut the word Jap, but finally it was decided that if that's what it was called initially, perhaps it was better to keep the original name.

| Thank you both. Okay, so Brita Barlow IS Toomanytomatoes! I thought so but now I'm sure. Yes, that pic from her does look just like mine. I also saw how the ones on Tatiana's site don't have the green shoulders. The shoulders don't go away when ripe on mine. |
