Usefull cure for BER.

"Apparently paste tomato varieties as a group tend to have more problems getting Ca++ to the fruits b'c of their vascualr system. When did you last see a cherry tomato variety that had BER? How often have you seen a heart shaped variety that had BER?" [Carolyn]

Great points (a pun may soon become obvious).

And does this apply to "sausage shaped" tomatoes ... especially those with pointy tips like Opalka or Jersey Devil?

How about the Marzano paste types? Are these elongated pointy types mostly BER resistant due to vascular structure?
