2 seasons back we ordered Speckled Roman Tomato seed from Totally Tomatoes.. They produced nicely; however, we started several, and 20% of them...were ONE of the Parents of this cross- Banana Legs![](https://www.totallytomato.com/products/00050.jpg) Speckled roman produced well, tasted good, looked GREAT...I can say though that they had a hard white core in the center that made processing them harder than you care to deal with...so in our results this "cross" isn't stable...anyone else have this same result?? The Banana legs we harvested were great...however they didn't sell well at the market...so we ate them..literally

Speckled Roman is a cross between Antique Roman and Banana Legs. Interesting that there are still seeds which may not be stable but it is possible. The only wholesale source of the seeds is SSE and that is where Totally Tomatoes would have gotten them.
