Your tomato looks like it might be a "paste" or sauce type of tomato. Other than that no one can say for sure what variety it is since there are literally hundreds of paste types. Tatiana's TomatoBase lists 430 paste type tomatoes and many of them look like your tomatoes. Do you know what kind of tomato was grown there previously?

Identifying a tomato variety from a photo is nearly impossible since there can be a great deal of variance in appearance of a variety in different regions due the the influence of the myriad of factors in growing tomatoes. And then there are so many tomatoes that look alike, but are definately different in other ways (flavor, leaf type, growth habit).

If an "expert" examined your tomato and the plant it came from, they would be able to tell you if the plant were determinate, semi-determinate, or indeterminate; regular leaf, potato leaf, or rugose; perhaps cherry, paste, heart or beefsteak. But if the "expert" was not told what variety that "big fat juicy tomato" was, there is no way to know.

The only way to be relatively sure of what tomato you have, is to obtain seed from a reputable source, start them yourself, make sure you label them and do not mix them up.....and even then it might not be correct.

If you like them, save seeds from them and grow them again.

Sorry I can't give you a difinitive answer. Only the person who planted the original might be able to do so.

Exactly as Betsy said. We get lots of requests to try to do this - ID a fruit or plant - and it is impossible to do. There are literally hundreds of varieties of each type/shape/size/color of any fruit not to mention this was apparently a volunteer so most likely some sort of hybrid throwback..

Yeah, I know not all of those are paste tomatoes, but they are all red or pink and usually do have nipples on the blossom end. I didn't really want to narrow it down more, but you shouold get my point.

MY point is, with VERY few exceptions, you can't tell a variety by looking.
