To further muddy the waters there are many full size large Roma style tomatoes with two locules.
Some of the Karma cherry segregants have had multiple small Locules like a beefsteak. I have kept them separate as next gen of those tend to be bigger than cherry, not full beefsteak size but say 2-3 oz saladettes. I have seeds from them and a couple were fantastic in flavour so once the basic Karma cherry line is stable I may pursue a couple of the promising ones. I have a feeling that they could get bigger, likely full size beefsteaks through selection if that’s what is selected for but smaller/ earlier would be better from that cross for my goals.
If bigger fruit is what I wanted I would select the multi Locule to save seed from and vice versa, keep selecting from 2-3 Locule fruits to maintain the cherry. I get mega blooms in the karmas as well ( weird in a cherry) so I avoid saving seed from faciated fruits as well.
