My personal experience goes with what Marsha said. I had a paste tomato (Cow's Tit) that my husband and I both loved and there were some large double and triple sized tomatoes but the blossoms had not looked like fused or multiple blossoms so I thought it might be a mutation of a larger tomato. I posted the pics on another forum and the knowledgeable people there did not think the saved seeds would produce larger tomatoes and guess what? They were right. I planted about 8 plants from those seeds saved from those larger tomatoes and none of them had the larger tomatoes, they grew like the normal paste.


That was just one experience, but dang I was disappointed... lol. I was hoping the experts were wrong but they were right.
