Hi there, those are not KARMA peach, it’s a stable PL salad sized tomato.
Where did you get the seed?
Are your plants potato leaf?
If you post a photo that would help, I have received no other reports of off type KARMA peach from this season so there must be a mixup.
I’m happy to send you new seeds so you have the correct ones.

I got them from Marsha with the True North/Karma offer earlier this year.

Prolific and really reliable this season.

Here are some pictures:

KARMA peach is a bicolour saladette to small beefsteak not a cherry. They become fully dark pink on the exterior when fully ripe with a yellow bicolour interior that also becomes quite pink if left to overripe.
Are you sure yours are red or are they overripe all over dark pink ?

KARMA purple Multiflora is a purple large cherry growing on branching clusters of perhaps 25 fruits.
As opposed to a centiflor with hundreds of blooms.
I don’t see photos if they were posted. I’m sorry about your spider mite issues.
Has anyone else experienced an off type KARMA peach?

Do these look correct to type then? They are yummy, and I quite love them. They have been great for me this year, I just expected a size closer to the Karma pinks I grew last year.

Are the weights on these what was to be expected? Those are ounces.

ETA, checked the plants, these are Karma Peach.

Karen,

A few of my KARMA Peach (seed from Marsha) looked similar with the green shoulders. I didn't weigh them, but I'd bet a few of them approached 3 oz. Maybe those were fused blossoms? They were bigger than KARMA Pink, about the size of a slightly flattened golf ball or slightly larger. The exteriors kind of went from a yellow/orange-ish to a reddish color when fully ripe. Maybe they were dark pink. I didn't look closely at the epidermis. The interiors were definitely bicolor with lots of yellow. Most of the time, I didn't have time to inspect them because I was eating them too fast. The taste was outstanding.

My KARMA Peach never got to that color. My interiors were never like that, either. I ate them when they were oranger than that. Wish I had taken pictures.

What do you think? Pink or red?

There are no photographs to be viewed Josephine rose.
If they are PL and taste great with a dark orangey pink exterior green shoulder that disappears fully ripe they are KARMA peach.
If they were a cross it’s unlikely they would be PL.
unless you are sure my preference would be that you not share seeds labeled KARMA peach.
KarenO.
If you post a photo I can likely assist you.

Messaged Karen the photos. These are correct, just overripe Karma Peach.

I’m not sure why I could not see your photos on here, thank you very much for taking the time to message them to me on Northen gardener! I’m very happy you like them and I feel quite relieved they are correct also. If one lets them ripen long enough they will be soft and dark pink all the way through.

I dont know?
KARMA peach is a bicolour PL saladette we released last winter. A lot of people have grown it out this year.
Apricot is smaller, oval large cocktail cherry in size, also bicolour PL. not released yet.
