It is a new experimental striped heart that you got from Tom Wagner which doesn't have a name yet. It is a cross between tiger-like and Pink Ox-heart.

Holy wow that's beautiful whatever it is. I say will be green striped like green zebra when ripe.

Scott your on the right path they are a Tom Wagner variety. Here's another hint.........it is white when ripe.

Ding ding ding we have a winner. Good job dfollett.
Anyone out there that has grown beauty mark before? Is the heart shape normal because it seems really pronounced for a cross between white brandy and brandy stripes? |

I'm growing it for the first time this year. I just planted out this week. I'll post photos if it is interesting. Post a photo when it ripens and be sure to report on the taste.

I will for sure. I have a cluster of four right now that are getting huge and a lot more gumball sized fruits. I will say that this plant is one of the first plant to set fruit out of the 100 plants i have going.

I grew a couple of Beauty Mark last year, nothing like yours though, the ones I had were fairly ordinary.

What traits/flavor/size did you see in your beauty marks?

Regular leaf, grew well enough but nothing to make it stand out and it seemed a bit plain, round or slightly flattened and not very big, no stripes. I think red or possibly black?! I grew quite a few of Tom's varieties last year but didn't save seeds from this one as flavour didn't wow either. Germination wasn't good from remainder of seed this year so I only have one plant growing, if it looks anything like yours, I'll be a happy bunny
Hope yours taste as good as they look Did you buy seeds this year or last? |

What did you end up with?
Heirloomtomatoguy,
What did the Beauty Mark turn out like? How was the flavor? Mine are larger than I expected, but I don't know what color they will eventually turn out. Last edited by dfollett; August 11, 2014 at 02:12 AM. |
