| History
|
* This tomato was developed by J.D. Brann … * This tomato was developed by J.D. Brann in the early 80s and was promoted by his family who owns [http://www.conroegreenhouses.com/vegetables.html Conroe Greenhouses, Inc.]. It was exclusive to Conroe Greenhouses up until 2009 when other seed vendors also started to offer this variety. This explains 'C-Tex' and 'Special' in the name, where 'C Tex' refers to 'Conroe, Texas'.
* According to [http://www.facebook.com/pages/Conroe-Greenhouses-Inc/159445854087392 Conroe Greenhouses, Inc. Facebook] page, J.D. Brann bred this tomato by crossing [[Early Girl F1]] and [[Black Krim]].
* '''Note:''' ''Special'' is an old American commercial naming technique. "Specials" usually refer to originally unique, custom versions of some standard product, or to "limited editions".
* First offered in the Seed Savers 2008 Yearbook by Neil Lockhart of Oblong, Illinois (IL LO N) and Susan Anderson of Elgin, Texas (TX AN S). Susan Anderson of Elgin, Texas (TX AN S).
