OMG- Lianne---- I have a Goose Creek that has a fruit exactly the same as your strawberry one!

How is your plant doing? Do you think it could have a disease? I am trying to figure out if mine has mosaic or not . . .

Heather, my GC plant has actually been the best looking one of the bunch but it has lately developed some sort of foliage issue. I just cut off a bunch of leaves yesterday and it looked to me like Septoria leaf spot. I'll post a pic below of what GC looked like this evening, right before the second storm in less than 24 hours blew through! It's looking a bit bare low on the plant from the trim that I gave it, but the rest of the leaves look pretty healthy. I really don't know what has caused the oddly shaped fruit, but Ray's theory about all of the rain early in the season makes sense to me. I sure hope yours doesn't have mosaic-- have you taken any pics?

Thanks Lianne.

My Goose Creek plant doesn't have classic mosaic symptoms. . . it just goes through phases of growing funky--- new stems growing completely under/curled to it's starting point. . . uneven growth etc. The new side stems have never shot up--- more down. Basically it sometimes looks like a really giant stalk of celery.

The ph is fine. . . no bugs, etc.

On the cucumber mosaic thread Lee said his infected tomatoes grew misshapen. . . so when I saw that pointy Goose Creek. . . I was like, "Ack!"

It's good to see your plant grew out of it's issue. . . hopefully mine will too!

Mine grows branches like that, too-- some downward, some curling back, etc. The leaves on them and the branches themselves look healthy, though. It is odd looking, but I think it may just be a characteristic of GC... at least that's what I tell myself!

I can tell you that of the cuttings I took from my four plants, the one from GC is by far the tallest and best looking. I planted it out yesterday in a 5 gallon ebucket I made. I'm looking forward to getting fruit from it well into October, so long as I can keep the bugs and disease at bay.
