Hello,
Do you think Maglia Rosa would have better production in an Earthbox? Thanks very much. |

Can somebody tell me exactly what the "pink stage" looks like? If anybody has a pic of this stage, I would to see it. I'm going crazy waiting for mine to turn any color but green so I can not only see what this fruit looks like, but to taste some after hearing so much about it.
Mine are definitely wispy foliage. |

The first year I grew Maglia Rosa (2014), I grew two plants. One had a decidedly more upright posture and provided pink-ish fruits. The other was more sprawling and the fruits had green striping. I preferred the sprawling plant and that's what I've grown since.
The first photo shows two Maglia Rosa fruits and one Blush. |

Sherry, Where did you get your seeds for the variable Maglia Rosa?

They look like perfectly ripe (pre-full color) Maglia Rosa to me. Or very very over-ripe Lucky Tiger.

With both plants being PL, I know I put the wrong seed into the packet (Packets are filled to order.) We did speak awhile back, and I said it could be any PL plant in my L-Z selections. It is most likely a tasty beefsteak. Remy

Fred -- As I recall, I ordered those seeds from you. I only purchased one seed pack ... both plants came from same pack.
Hunt-Grow-Cook -- I didn't grow Lucky Tiger that year. I did grow it in 2015, and the plant was much different from either of the Maglia Rosa plants. Also, fruits were considerably smaller. Sherry |

Sprawling is normal. The other plant? A mutant, or the work of some dagnab insect.

I ordered two packs of dwarf tomato seed from her. On her site, it said that Maglia Rosa was good for containers. I am guessing that is why she sent me Maglia Rosa as free seed. But perhaps a different tomato, mislabeled. :shrug: I guess I will find out what I have later on.
