Is this a Brandywine X Japanese Oxheart Cross?
Ok, I have held off asking this question for fear of sounding stupid. But the only stupid question is the one you don't ask....
I planted my Brandywine Sudduth in the same earthbox with Japanese Oxheart. I have noticed that many of the Brandywine have pointy ends like an oxheart. The photo below shows a fruit off the brandywine plant with somewhat of a pointy end. A few others were very much heart shaped, but the Spotted Wilt virus got the plant so I only got about 4 fruits ripe off the plant.

Would it show up immediately in the fruit or in the next generation? |
I got this one from Tomato Growers Supply. I haven't tasted any of the supposed Brandywine yet, if it taste good.
Do you think I should save the seed and see if the heartshape trait continues? |
