Saving Seed from Early Multi-lobed Fused tomatoes?

BigdaddyJ · June 28, 2011

I have a poor track record of saving seed from non bagged fruit and it breeding true. You guys that get 95% true amazes me. Here's my Q...Is it wise to save seed from an early multi lobed fused fruit? Many of my first fruit are ugly fused fruit probably because I stick my plants out too early I dunno. Since these first fruits are so ugly and twisted and are the earliest fruit I figured why not save seed from them and eat the nicer later fruit? I have an ugly 3 or 4 lobed/fused Orange Minsk that is fully ripe. Are these fused jobs more risky because they ARE fused compared to a perfect tomato? Carolyn, the seed came from you so hope you read this. Plus, Maria Sharapova has a shot at Wimbledon!
