What is this, I know its not a pathogen but all my Rutgers on this plant look like this, the plant is doing well however. Although the fruit size is smallish

I would say the smaller striped one is not Rutgers.
Either a seed mixup or a cross. KarenO |

Do you think its possible it could be a Red Zebra or similar type tomato?
The seeds were purchased. Image from internet ![]() Last edited by SQWIBB; July 12, 2018 at 08:28 AM. |

Tigerella isnt usually lobed like that is it? Makes me think its a bee pollinated cross.

I've never grown Rutgers, but I've grown Tigerella before and it's striated but not lobed. It's a cherry tomato and, at least in my case, the fruits were a bit bigger than other cherry tomatoes (almost the size of a golf ball)

Are striations dominant? If not, I'd suspect a stray seed.

The gs mutation responsible for this kind of striping will show some striping if it carries one copy of the gene and more pronounced striping if it carries both. Theres a good writeup about different kinds of striping here

That striping looks fairly pronounced to me. I'm going with a stray seed.

I tasted one of the "Rutgers" last night and let me tell you it was the best tomato I have ever eaten in my life...EVER!!!
But seriously the tomato was OK, sweet with a little acid/tart flavor, nothing to write home about but just a decent tomato, although I was impressed at how thin the skin was.

All those tomatoes are on the same plant? It could be that you have a somatic mutation, and that is kind of special... me thinks.

Title made me think you had cat scratches on the tomatoes not stripes.
