The parents were chosen for their heat and drought tolerance with hopes of increasing those qualities. * "Salubong" is Tagalog for a sacred encounter with birds, namely their messengers to creation, the Tigmamanukan. "Cuautli" is Nahuatl for eagle. * F2 seed first offered by [[Good Mind Seeds]] in 2013. regular midseason unstable segregation line 2014-12-25T13:49:11Z 2457017.0758218 Cuautli Salubong Cuautli Salubong#001# Zone 5b, near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA (1000 feet above sea level) Cuautli Salubong My hopes for the cross are to find plants that set fruits into the worst heat, looking for those that surpass both parents in drought hardiness. Because [[Kamatis Tagalog]] is a pink tomato, 1/4 of this generation of PB x KT will be pink as well. There should also be variation in fruit size and shape, as well as flavor. In addition to the hardiness they are very early, and the fruits seldom crack. The semi-determinate plants never get terribly large, about 3 feet at most, and should not be pruned as that would severely decrease production. intentional cross 2013
