What if PL Tomato x RL Tomato...
I had this little salad tomato show up last year and at the very end of the season I decided to save seed from it, knowing that there was no way that it was Lescana Heart and probably just a stray seed. Since this little mostly yellow but faint striped mini heart or strawberry shape tomato had given so many tomatoes all season long, I should try it again.
So looking back through my notes, this is a possiblity if a cross would work that way and I am doubting it will but no idea what it might be.... 2009 Lescana Heart planted next to Large Pink Bulgarian Heart PL. ... 2010 planted seed from the 2009 Lescana Heart, One was right and one was the yellow striped strawberry heart. 2011, I have one plant of Lescana Heart from the orginial source and one plant from the new little tomato. This year there is no sign of stripes at least yet, not heart or strawberry shaped but more bullet shaped and they are Potato Leaf looking. I did not notice the leaf shape last year. My question can a red RL Heart cross with a pink PL Heart and come up with a yellow unstable PL?? No chance it's a cross??? Last edited by patty_b; July 21, 2011 at 12:19 PM. |
