You can't assume that it is an Arkansas Traveler Tomato unless you grew it from seeds that were Arkansas Traveler or you purchased a plant labeled Arkansas Traveler. And even that is not a guarantee. Smiling There are thousands of tomatoes and it would be impossible to identify one from a picture or even taste.

Like Rick said, you can bag the fruit to save seeds and you will most likely get the same fruit as the parent plant produced.
