Grenadier Tomatoes

For many years I grew Grenadier tomatoes from seed, then couldnt get theseed anymore. It was apparent the breed had 'died out'. They reappeared briefly for 1 year and again disappeared.

I did save seed and used successfully the following year, but being F1 hybrid the year after they failed.

Am I right in believing they can no longer be found. I search the internet every year without luck.

    I had a look but I couldn't find them either.

    I grew Cucino cucumbers a few years ago which were excellent and had an RHS AGM. The following year they disappeared.

    If you want to consider an alternative, Simpsons Seeds have a huge variety -

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    Thank for the reply but I'm sorted this year. I'm growing Shirley this year as I've grown them previously, and trying for the first time 'Harbinger'.
