We Need More Tomato Plant Pictures

Today's harvest includes a couple of variety Black Krim, shown in foreground.

Beautiful!

Nan, and any others interested; Back on post #393 there was discussion about a "Wispy-Leaf" variety Sioux. The seed that started this particular plant came from other Sioux that had been grafted in two previous years...to Maxifort one year, grown out--seed saved--planted and grafted to Supernatural another year. This plant was not grafted this year. Despite the odd-looking leaves, went ahead and left this one in the ground to see what fruit it would yield. Here it is...nice, juicy and meaty. Better than store-bought taste, but without the authority of a Cherokee, Black Krim or Jaune Flammee. Scooped out the seeds and letting them ferment.

I cannot name a plant I have that is the best tasting tomato with best production I have encountered. The plant was surrounded by Texas Star and Parks Whopper which both were hit by Early Blight, but this tomato was completely resistant. It is a PL variety and produces a dark tomato similiar to Black Krim. Below is my attempt to identify:

Black Krim - no because BK is a RL.
Prudents Purple - PL but not dark enough.
BrandyBoy Hybrid - PL but not dark enough.
Black Brandywine - I planted Brandywine varieties but never had “black” seeds?
Indian Stripe PL - Could this be it? I was given some seeds by another TVille blogger.

It’s either IS PL, or I accidentally got some Black BW?

Pics attached. Anyone have opinion?

The first picture is of my ironically named 'Early Detroit' plant deciding it wants to be fashionably late this year! But I figure those flowers will start to open in the next week.


The second flower shot is of my New Big Dwarf.


And, finally, the last image is of Sunrise Bumblebee.

All the fruit of a plant I bought at a local nursery and was labeled Boxcar Willie looks like this. BCW does not look like this, does it????? These are very flat and VERY lobed. Donna, Texas Gulf Coast.


P.S. Many of the fruits have belly buttons.

It doesn't look ripe yet. Can you take another photo later on? If I had to guess I'd say ISPL.

Koala Doug, Nice closeups...wishing you good sets and fine harvest.

[Harry Cabluck]

Spooky...uh, Donna, Congrats on having some kinda fruit from BCW. The BCW here is seven-feet tall, bushy as all getout...with only one fruit. Now, with summer heat, there's little hope for more fruit.

Thank you very much.

[SpookyShoe]

Yeah Harry we're pretty much done for. Thank goodness I have a Black Cherry and Chocolate Cherry that are loaded with fruit.

[HoustonHeat]

Thanks Donna. I will take a pic soon of a ripe tomato.

[SpookyShoe]

I've never seen a fused cherry tomato. On another note, my season is almost over. I'm pulling up Paul Robeson today and Cherokee Purple has only one fruit on it that has a chance of ripening.

Lofthouse's variety "Brad." Started the seeds a few weeks too late for Austin, Texas, but now the plant is six-feet tall and producing small and very tasty fruit. Fermenting a few seeds, and hope to growout a fruit that Joseph may have interest.

A few from today.
