I picked these seeds up at a seed swap at a potato fayre, they are growing away beautifully but I can't find out anything about them. I can adopt them from HSL at £20 but no info on them! Would anyone know if they are bush or cordon, in or out and what size fruit please.
I also have several seeds left so if you don't think it is too late and would like some then see in the swaps.
I found this here:

"Tomatoes. I grew a heritage variety from the Seedy Sunday
seed swap called 'Jersey Sunrise'. I couldn't find much info
about it anywhere, even on the web, except that it is
supposed to have a yellow area around the stalk (officially
greenback I suppose!) hence the 'sunrise' bit.
As a heritage novice, I was a bit dubious but it was very
vigorous, germinated beautifully (my whole street ended up
growing Jersey Sunrise this year) and produced lots of quite
small juicy fruit. I didn't get much in the way of yellow bits, the
fruit seemed pretty much dark red all over but was delicious!
I would recommend it. Definitely needed stopping, side
shoots taking out etc as was very keen to produce loads of
leafy growth. Didn't seem to pick up blight (but maybe nobody
got that this year?) and laughed in the face of aphids etc, it
was vigorous enough not to even notice. I tried growing one
indoors (in the kitchen, I don't have a greenhouse) but that
didn't work at all, so I think it's an outside variety."
lol! I was about to post the exact same thing ceres ;D
Great minds!
I've emailed the HSL before when I've been lucky enough to get a few of their seeds in swaps, and they've always been happy to tell me whatever they know about them. Contact details are on their website.
You clever lot, thanks for that, I couldn't find a thing. I incorrectly thought that sunrise would mean it was yellow ::)
Interesting newletter too.
