Santorini tomato
I am aware of the two types of Santorini tomato - one is plum-shaped and another is small flattened and slightly ribbed.
This year I grew Santorini from a very few seeds I received from Germany, and the baby fruits are flattened and ribbed. Unfortunately the plants died before the fruit matured, so that's all I could observe. No more seed from that source, but I got plenty of Santorini seed from Michael (not sure of which type), so I am back to wondering which one is a 'true' Santorini. There is not a lot of info on the web... Today I was casually browsing the net and found this page: http://www.sevenacreseeds.com/Santor...ds-SAT2345.htm . The picture shows a plum, but their description says flattened and ribbed. Go figure! (Or is it a creative way of resolving the plum vs. flat confusion??? ) My Santorini looked like this (see attached) Tania
