I can't wait to see these progress! I am working on Crossing Red Robins with the following: Black Cherry, Isis Candy, Clear Pink Early, Sungold and Sunray. I am 0 for 2 tries, but am thinking that since I only have a flower or two blooming at a time, I don't have enough pollen yet. Hopefully in a few weeks I will have some success.
Everything looks great! |

Septoria (at least that's what it looks like to me) is rampant this year and has nearly wiped out those beautiful flats of micros (and other tomato plants). Not a fan of NC and its plagues.
 On second look maybe bacterial spot or speck. oy.

I obtained small tomatoes with the blue on the skin to a dwarf variety:Robin Hood.

It is natural crossing OP of 2013.
I placed several Robin Hood next to flowers of blue tomatoes and I let work insects. I made it with Tiny Tim, fir silvery tree, lucinda. I wait for the results. I make the same thing in 2014 by multiplying the number of dwarf varieties and the varieties of blue tomatoes. I also make crossings by bringing some pollen to the flowers of dwarf plantations. |

An F2 of Red Robin by a multiflora. Picture is of a single inflorescence on a tiny plant.

Here are the two multiflora siblings I got from that flat of F2s. One appears to be a "micro" and the other will likely be a regular dwarf.

They look great! Look like good lines worth pursuing. The 'Micro' appears to be setting decently. Might make a good parent as well once stable.

Not sure yet. Multifloras hardly ever set all the blossoms they put out. It's a pretty little plant and putting out 2 more inflorescences.
Did you start any of the seed I sent? I have the three varieties you sent going. The Bonte Tigret has that chartreuse foliage gene. I'm going to cross it with an anthocyanin line. Quote:

The dwarf multiflora on the left has now been crossed with a variegated line and an antho line (I can't resist a good bandwagon!)

I love the look of dwarf tomatoes and these dwarf cherries must be a big improvement over tiny Tim in flavour. very cool. what varieties are stable? are they available yet? these look like the perfect greenhouse cherries
