Sugary Hybrid Tomato

pauladkins · October 6, 2015

I started this from seed & planted 3 of them. They are real sweet, but about a month ago I noticed they started splitting. Almost half on the plant were splitting, but the first few months I didn't have any split. Just wondering if anyone else planted these & had them split late.

I have the same experience with late season splitting. I really like the taste so I put up with it.

I have more problems with splitting late in the season on many varieties. In part, I attribute that to more rain late in the season. Varieties that don't split also seem to have a thicker epidermis on the fruits.

RJGlen they are a great tomatoes. So sweet & a nice size. They are not huge plants, my three were barely 4 feet tall. It was just strange how most started to split so late, even ones that weren't close to being ripe. I will plant them again.

Sugary Hybrid Tomato. They are grape looking & about 2 ounces in size.

I think I have some purchased seed for that variety. Will have to give them a try, I always like cherries or grape tomatoes that stay small, most don't!

This variety doesn't get bigger than 2 ounces & they are the sweetest ones I grew this year. I just wish the plant would get bigger than 4 feet tall.

Thanks
I though that " Sugary Hybrid Tomato" is a description , not a name.

Why would you want a large plant? 4' is so manageable for staking.

Yes, it's the short stature that now has convinced me to buy a pack of those seeds, and give them a run.

I like this hybrid, don't remember any splitting issues. Pretty, oblong, small, sweet, pink fruit. Very productive from what I remember and doesn't grow like kudzu. I was going to grow out the F2 a few years ago and have a bunch of seed somewhere around here.

It is a semi-determinate so don't prune it hard.

Four foot tall plant is excellent , to me too.
Anything up to 6 ft is fine. This way I can reach the highest point without the need fo a ladder.
Having said that I might grow SUGARY F1.
