Providing your cross produces viable seed and you grow it out for five generations with a consistent replica of the original first year cross.

I grow Boxcar Willie and Sungold tomatoes every year. Both are very prolific. While Boxcar Willie is golf ball size, Sungold is a cherry. More than five years ago I grew out what I thought was a Boxcar Willie from saved seed. It was the size and shape of Boxcar Willie but it was golden yellow and almost as sweet as Sungold. I call it Golden Willie. It\'s been very stable. They are to the left. The surprising thing is that Sungold is a patented complex hybrid and I\'ve never been able to get a decent tomato beyond one generation from this seed.
