Campari is a type of hybrid tomato noted for its juiciness, high sugar level, low acidity, and lack of mealiness. Camparis are deep red and larger than a pear or cherry tomato, but smaller and rounder than common plum tomatoes. They are often sold as "tomato-on-the-vine" (TOV) in supermarkets, a category of tomato that has become increasingly popular over the years. Campari tomatoes can be produced from different varieties with similar characteristics, the standard being Mountain Magic.[1][2][3][4] As a hybrid, the seeds cost around $150,000 per pound.[5]

Interesting that you got good results from the seed of a hybrid.

Interesting, I don’t know what to tell you. We have been doing this for so long and never looked into if we could. The fruit are true and big and sweet and plentiful.
