There is a heart you might be interested in. Last year I grew Heshpole beside a Russian Purple. The Heshpole plant produced purple hearts. I am assuming there was cross fertilization. I grew it out this year and it produced purple hearts again.
I am thinking of offering seeds but I am not sure that it is a genuine cross. If there was cross fertilization would it affect the all the fruit or just a few. I am considering the possibility that I made some error, buy then I did not grow any purple hearts last year. Any thoughts?

Alex,
If I recall, Heshpole is potato leafed. Was your purple heart tomato plant potato leaf? If so, then it may be a cross (assuming your Russian Purple is not potato leaf).
