That's pretty good looking for a big one! With the heavy fluting it sure doesn't look like a Big Zac. Belmonte, by chance?

I'm getting my first ripe tomato on one of my giant tomato contest plants, but it's producing only cherry tomatoes - oops!! Nothing else really worth mentioning. Yet...

I'm thinking the 3.5 King was grown by Billy King of New York in 2009 - see

It's listed as "Domingo", but here's all I have been able to find out about this variety, quoting from Billy's 2009 Giant Tomato Diary:

"Doningo seeds are from a grower here on the island ..he said there good for 3lbs or more and heirloom from italy that his brother sent over a few years back".

Looks like Domingo has been producing giant tomatoes consistently for at least the past several years.

Any other info. out there? Sounds like some seeds I wouldn't mind trying out!

I am always looking for new seeds. This year I have one I got from Pizza. It is not growing as I would like but then the day is young. Hot here. Very hot. Marv
