Tidwell German - Page 2

It would have to be a big plant to support maters like that.
:wink:

Looked up Tidwell German on the web - here is a picture from TGS, the fruits look very similar to what I had:

Can someone describe how it should look?

My Tidwells have always been more smooth at the shoulders than what Bully or you showed Tania, or even the TGS picture, and more like what's shown at Victory Seeds, for which David was also the seed supplier to Mike.

Thank you Carolyn.

I remember that the first fruit (on my picture) was not typical, as far as shape goes - it also had some empty seed cavities. The next fruits didn't have any empty cavities, and were juicier than the 1st. This is all I remember at the moment...

I wish I had pictures of the following fruits - but I am sure they looked more like the TGS picture.

It was a huge plant, and didn't produce many fruits as it was late; but the fruits were large, 1+ lb.
