Default One Of The Tomatoes I Culled

As per Marv Meisner's book " Giant Tomatoes " I removed (culled) all but one tomato on one of my Big Zac plants in order for the plant to concentrate it's efforts on one fruit.

The fruit that remains is a multiple fused bloom example that is estimated to be a little over 2 lbs.

This is a photo of one of five tomatoes I removed.

She's a pretty one!

It's going to my neighbor who loves fried green tomatoes.

YAY!! Thanks!

It was difficult to remove because I really wanted it to stay on the plant and grow but I did what I had to do.
