stripes

Minnesota Mato · August 13, 2015

I have been growing out an accidental cross just for fun and this year a couple of my plants have purple stripes.

Whoa, those are wide stripes! Should be interesting to see if the stripes remain visible when ripe.

They are cute! Let's hope they taste good too? How big were the fruits in the parents?

one parent was Russian Cossack from Tom Wagner and the other was orange Russian 117

Not an expert, but I think that's anthocyanin at work, not stripes.

I am very interested in this cross. Everything that involves Orange Russian 117 is interesting for me as it is my all time favorite tomato.
I am trying to do a cross between Orange Russian 117 and Amethyst Jewel and hopeing to get a tomato with the flavor of orange russian with antho as a bonus.
I never tasted Russian Cossack. Is it a good one? sounds interesting.
Would you share seeds of your cross for growing out?

Charline can you take a shot a cross of anything with Aunt Gerties Gold? The flavor is amazing but the yields are super low for some of us.

I have never tried Orange Russan 117 but it looks like a beautiful fruit!
