DANIEL BURSON 2016

[travis]

Daniel Burson is what commonly today is called a "purple" tomato, same as Cherokee Purple or Indian Stripe.

Well that was succinct, and thanks for confirming but what would have happened if I hadn't gone through the epidermis stuff?

Don't answer.

I have 3 plants of the Daniel Burson tomato growing. Question, is it potato or regular leaf? I have two regular leaf plants and one potato leaf plant. I'm growing them out to see what I get from each plant. I hope they're not crossed.

Daniel Burson is a potato leaf plant. This must be a cross. My plants were grown away from my other tomatoes to prevent crossing, but nothing is impossible. Most, but not all of my fruits were bagged.

You are the first one to report a regular leafed plant. Has anyone else found one? BigVanVander, you have 20 plants, are any of them RL?

mrdoitall, may I suggest that you only grow out the PL plant and destroy the others? If you do grow out the RL plants, please do not share the seeds.

Thanks for your reply, that is what this thread is for.

All of mine are potato leaf plants.

Sounds to me like you got outcrossed seeds. I get 100% potato leaf.

Thanks for clarification
I don't think there is a BLACK tomatoes (i.e. not red or pink). Or I have not seen one I rather call them DARK tomatoes, which may include purple ( CP, IS) and brown of different shades. So DB fits in that category.

I'm also growing Daniel Burson, PL. Very excited to try a "new to me" variety. So far, its about 1.5 feet high and has about 10 blooms so I hope its a successful variety for me. Seems healthy and happy. So far.

I have 2 Daniel Burson plants started and they are both potato leaf

All four of mine are PL, including the three others that I did not grow out.

As others have said, DB should be PL.

What was the source of your seeds, just curious about that.

Carolyn, so far all of the people that have responded to this thread, other than Travis, have gotten their seeds from me.

Thanks for clarifying since while I was looking at your offer thread for a bit,and now this might come to you as a shock, but I don 't know every single person here at Tville even though I was here on day one when it opened in Jan of 2006, so wouldn't have recognized user names,especially since Mischka in the past month or so has listed several hundreds of new members.

There are several ways seeds can get mixed up or land in the wrong starter cells.
So, I would not beat yourself up or spend a lot of time trying to figure out what happened.
Simply cull the incorrect seedlings.

I'm shocked that you do not know everyone here at T'ville! No, I would not think that it was even possible.

In looking at my seed offer it is also quite difficult to see who had requested the seeds because most people did not respond in the thread, they just PM'd me directly. I in return PM'd them when I sent their seeds out to them. I did keep records so I do know every person that I sent seeds to via my seed offer and the dates as well. I did also send in seeds to the 2015 MMMM. I will have to ask Gary if anyone else sent in seeds for Daniel Burson.

mrdoitall's seeds were sent out on 3/9/16. Daniel Burson seeds were the only seeds that I sent out on that day. Therefore the bag of DB was the only bag that I had open on that day. On this end, there was no seed mix up due to multiple seed packs being open so it may be a cross or an error on his end. We will see if anymore RL leafed plants show up.

I myself will be starting 20-25 seeds of DB. I will be doing this to check the leaf type and to have a few plants for myself.
