Does anybody recognise this tomato plant ?

This one was quite clearly NOT the same as the other seedlings in a batch of a known F1 variety, but I didn't realise that until after I planted it out. The plant itself is most definitely a cordon with virtually no side shoots and is a rather spindly straggly affair. I was about to pull it up when I saw that it already had some fruit, and as I'd never seen toms that shape before, it has won a reprieve (for the time being)
I have no idea how big the fruits will be but if anybody does recognise it and tells me the fruit tastes disgusting I'll pull it up, otherwise I will have to wait and see for myself.

I suppose as it was in a packet of an F1 variety, there's a good chance that it's one of the parent plants, or not.

We once grew a yellow plum that had that strange pointy end but I couldn't tell you what they looked like at that size. I can't remember what they were called but we got them from the States - "plum lemon"?

Anyhoo - wait and see is probably in order! Unless you've got something better to go in its place.

I had a quick look at some pictures of tom varieties last night, and only one looked like that, which was Green Sausage ... so if it turns red, it ain't that one.
No Maggie, I can spare the space to leave it be. I'll let you all know if/when it ripens.

Not Plum Lemon,I'm growing it this year, the fruits are plumper

It looks very much like "cornue des Andes" or a closely related variety: the "nipple" and shape are distictive. What variety is it supposed to be?

I'm pretty sure it was in a packet of Ferline Jon. I grew 7 different varieties and I think I labelled them all correctly, but when I saw it was nothing like a Ferline I began to doubt myself.
Now that it is setting fruit, together with the plant shape, I can tell it's nothing like anything else I'm growing either.

Don't know Ferline, but if it is bred for a broad spectrum of disease resistance then including one of the south American varieties would make sense. There's no harm in continuing with it, I suppose. On my French tomato forum ( I really am that obsessed), cornue des Andes gets a 10/10 for flavour and is recommended for sauces.

The "odd" tomato is now ripening up and as it's orange I don't think it can be a Green Sausage
The flavour is high acid/high sugar type, quite nice but really nothing special. The first truss only had 6 fruit on it but trusses further up had more and the third one up has about 3 dozen on it.
Oh, and it's a greenfly magnet.

Anyone any the wiser as to what it is ?

No, but how about an Ish competition to come up with a new name for this variety. Nothing rude.
