I am interested in this one and of course that means it is sold out. Any disease resistances on this one and pedigree information? Availability? Looks great on website! Thank you for your time, -d

Black Casady and Sweet Casady are clones from the same pedigree I think seed of both are being increased. Black Casady has the tiny seed just like Grren Grape and very few at that. I am not surprised to be out of it...I only had one plant. First picture is Black Casady...a photo from two years ago. The next photo is from a full sib....Sweet Casady...note the pedigree is F7 Casady's Folly crossed to Striped Roman and this crossed to Green Grape.

Thank you for your reply and good work! These will be intermediate tomatoes?

The tiny seed makes a smaller puny seedling but it will grow out of it. Just takes a few days or a week to catch up with normal seed size seedling tomatoes. I have been breeding small seed size to get nearly seedless tomatoes.

I have four plants of Black Casady. Some seeds were very small while others were twice as large. I sowed a small seed and a large seed in each cell. Does this have wispy leaved foliage? These might be droopy because of humidity in low tunnel:

The long shape of the Black Casady and Sweet Casady leaves comes directly from the Casady's Folly....and the linkage of the narrow leaves and droopiness to long fruit is strong.

Love the look of these. My plants have grown well and set lots of fruit, very much looking forward to these ripening soon I've several plants growing which look like they have faint stripes? Attachments:

I remember saving the seed out of this one a couple of years ago and lamented about the tiny and few seed. Is that the case yet? The taste was phenom to me too! Thanks again so much.
