Purple Haze F1 vs. Purple Haze F3 (pics)

rnewste · July 11, 2009

I have been "preserving" a Purple Haze F1 from a cutting Vince sent me over a year ago throughout the Winter (the plant is from the third series of cutting suckers), and planted it alongside a Purple Haze from F3 seed.

Purple Haze F1---------------------------------------------------Purple Haze F3

The F3 fruit are much larger.

Purple Haze F1-------------------------------------Purple Haze F3

Taste between them was quite similar, with the F1 seemingly a bit more tart.

The F3 plant is extremely prolific:

A very fine tomato, but I still prefer the sweeter flavor of Goose Creek.

Purple Haze F3 for me, please since I like prolific tomatoes on the sweeter side.

This is fun making a wish list in the middle of summer! Thanks, Ray

Sincerely,

Annapet
