It looks like a strawberry
Here's an odd one. This fruit is from one of six plants tracing to a single Brandeva plant in my garden last year. The Brandeva plant last year traced to seed collected the year before. Obviously there was an outcross somewhere along the line, because the six progeny this year are segregating for numerous traits. Anyway, one of these is throwing fruit with a striking resemblence to a strawberry. I've got Scabitha in my garden this year for the first time, but it's not this far along yet. Has anyone seen this sort of "scabbing" pattern before on tomatoes? This pattern is only on this plant and appears to be consistent on the early set fruit, too early to tell on the later fruit.
