Large Amish Paste - (UPDATED - PICS)

Tomstrees · July 24, 2006

After posting it in another thread -
Thought I would post it here:
Out of all the fruit on my Amish Paste,
this plant produced a huge fruit !
Its smooth so far, so it
may not be a fused blossom ~
All the rest of the fruit are
normal size (as seen in top right)
Cool huh ???
Will take more pics, when ripe ~

I had a few giant tomatoes like that on my Amish Paste plants last year. If I remember correctly, the big 'uns showed up late in the season...just barely ripened before cold weather came. If it helps any, my big guys didn't come from fused blossoms either. I thought perhaps my seeds had come from an accidental cross but now I wonder...

I use to get a few large ones here and there on my Amish Paste too.

big guns come early ~

But this one decided to amaze me and my family ~

Brings a whole new meaning to "The kid who eats paste"

Any plans to share seed on this one?

Yeah, Tom, you DID save seeds from that mater, right? I'm first in line. 8)

Barb who still doesn't understand how an AP put out a tomato that size

The very first tom on my Amish paste looked just like that one! It was about the size of a softball. All the fruits since have been typical paste shapes.

This is considered a paste tomato? Looks like a nice juicy slicer. Nice looking tomato!

Tomstrees · August 9, 2006

geol ~

Don't let the name fool you -
Amish paste is normally a quite
juicey tomato ....
Nothing like Oplaka, ect. ...
This was just one that exceeded its
growing potential, and took off on me !
The rest are 5 - 8 ounces , and oblong ~

Tom

Tomstrees · August 9, 2006

oh and yes i saved seed -
obviously there is no guarantee they will
grow like this one !
But, yes PM me if you like ~
