Question for Keith and Co.

Mantis · August 21, 2006

Some of you may know that I crossed Nepal and Tommy Toe last year. The F1's gave my pretty much what I thought they would except for the fruit shape which was like Russian Reds or Polish Dwarfs with 3 or 4 slight ribs, where I thought crossing two round tomatoes should give a round tomato.
Now I have 10 or so seedlings of the F2 up and it gets curiouser. All of them look very much like they will be small even dwarfs with possible rugose foliage. What do you folk think. All 10 seedlings are identical.

My main question is, can you get a dwarf in the F2s from a cross of two indeterminates. I guess some might be dwarf if any of the two originals parents were dwarf, but 10 out of 10 seedlings

They are very strong little fellas with thick stems that is another indication that they could be dwarfs.
