Dwarf

[frogwash]

Hello:

I've been hanging out here for a few months and learning a lot but haven't posted. So in order to earn my keep, here goes:

Is Dwarfism a spontaneous genetic mutation or ??? Before I found Tomatoville I had ordered several packets of seeds from Gurney's (i won't make that mistake again but that's another story). Anyhow, one of them was Delicious and it was listed as a heirloom. I started them from seed and planted them out on May 2 when they were in the 8" - 10" range. Two of them grew normally but one seemed at first a little stunted. The two normal ones are 6 foot-ish (all my plants are a bit smaller than last year, I'm not sure if it's my soil or the fact that this summer is lots cooler than last year), the runt is just barely topping three foot. The tomatoes that I've been getting from all three are similar and all in the 8 - 15 ounce range. But the little one is quite a bit bushier, especially for its size and I'm getting probably twice as many tomatoes from it. There are twenty on it right now

Do I have a Dwarf, a mixed up seed (the Delicious is the only red tomato this year) or was there an accidental cross at the seed factory?

Here are some pictures:







There are some flowers growing up into the cage, i was trying to show the stalk, it does 3 or 4 main stalks towards the bottom, the only pruning i did was just a couple lower branches to keep them off the ground at the very beginning, before I put down the straw.

Are these seeds something that anybody would want?

Thanks,
Theo
