Hahm-Hartmann's seeds: indet., regular leaf, medium sized red round slightly oblate smooth-shouldered fruit, 3-5 oz, 3-3.5" in diameter. Very nice, sweet flavor with a hint of acidity.

Chuck Wyatt's seeds: indet., regular leaf, medium slightly lobed pink round fruits with semi-empty seed cavities and thick firm walls. 3-6 oz. Cooking or stuffer tomato. I think Chuck Wyatt's seed was mixed up or crossed, as the SSE members who obtained the seed from him give this tomato different description. I am offering the seeds as Korean Love Pink.

History

• First introduced in the Seed Savers 1996 Yearbook by Chuck Wyatt of Maryland, who listed it in 'Red' section, as a medium size tomato, but did not mention fruit color in his description. Other SSE members who got their seed from Chuck Wyatt say that the fruit was medium sized pink for them. No SSE listings in 2005-2006, and in 2007 this variety was again offered as a large red, seed from Mr. Hahm-Hartmann, Germany.
• So it is not clear whether the original Korean Love tomato was pink or red. Mr. Hahm-Hartmann's Korean Love is certainly red, but medium size.
