Ipalco?

[SmokyMose]

Good afternoon!
Last year a neighbor brought me a couple of tomatoes that someone in her church (Greek Orthodox) gave her a few of. They told her it was a European/Mediterranean variety.
Shaped like a Roma but bigger and a little darker. Meaty with not a lot of seeds.
I liked them and saved a few seeds. I almost forgot about them, but stuck them in a couple of paper cups and whaddaya know they sprouted!
I pressed her to find out what they were and she was told they were called Ipalco's.
Anyone ever heard of these? I tried searching but just got run around in circles.
I was a little late getting them in the ground but I'm not too worried.

I think maybe you are mispronouncing them. Try looking up "Opalka" perhaps that is what they are. they are a Polish Variety

Thank you. I'll check it out. She actually spelled it out to me, but Deanie is 84. Still pretty sharp but misses a beat now and then....

I gree i think these are Opalco's

here is the description

Opalka Tomato
Without a doubt, this is one of the best tasting sauce tomatoes you'll find. Flavor is much richer and sweeter than other paste tomatoes, so delicious you can eat them right off the vine. Sauces using the nearly seedless fruits are something special. The bright red elongated 3 to 5 inch fruits are produced in clusters of 2 to 5 on vigorous, high-yielding, indeterminate plants. Fruits hold well on the vine.

Yep. I looked it up and It's Opalka. The pic was exactly like the ones she gave me.
Hoping they work out.
