IND Rutgers sources

jeffinjonestown · July 25, 2010

Just in from counting and logging my unripe maters. I noticed that seed obtained from Burpees some years ago and listed by them at the time as Rutgers and indeterminate definitely is NOT the indeterminate variety. It is bushier than any Rutgers plant I have ever seen. To make matters worse, two indeterminates from two other sources that really do both look indeterminate do not match. The fruit on one is much smaller at first blushing than the other, and the leaves are very different. One has more of a finger on each leaf while the other's leaves have many ridges along the entire leaf and are perfectly symmetrical.

Does anyone know of a vendor that you can confirm is selling seed of the indeterminate version that I think pre dated the usual determinates?

Thank you.
