Determinate potato leaf variety
Do determinate potato-leaf varieties exist? I've never seen one.I've read about how because of gene linkage you can't make a determinate plant that has peach fruits(or something like that,I don't remember).If there are any,I'd like to know the names of any you can think of.Thanks!

Black Sea man comes to mind. Tatiana's tomatobase lists it as determinate, although it might be a compact indet .. Chernomor (whic is supposed to be the same) is described as indet.
http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Black_Sea_Man But I am a bit confused with your rerefence to peach fruits - is that what you're seeking? Black seaman is dark, and very tasty.. I am sure there are more.. others will likely remember their names and chime in. |

Wrong! Fuzzy (peach-like) fruited determinates exist, I am just growing one on my balcony: Fuzzy Wuzzy. A very beautiful, vigorous, but compact plant. Very handy if you are seeking something that doesn't need staking.
It's setting fruit already, and I'm curious about the taste, which is supposed to be good.. |

I am growing it and I think it taste good. Not amazing but decent. I enjoy how it takes up virtually no space.

StrongPlant, here's the best info page I could find about FW:
http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Fuzzy_Wuzzy Plenty of pictures to show various stages. I can testify that the plant is very hairy, including the little fruits - I keep joking that I keep a furry friend on my balcony.. it is that fuzzy. What fun to see the vast diversity of tomato genetic pool! |

Any more varieties with these specific traits? It looks like I will be able to find seeds of 'Black sea man' in my area,which is awesome.Any more varieties you guys can think of are welcome,and aditional info on Black sea man(disease-resistance,yield,growth speed,days to maturity) would be cool too.Personal experience with it is preferred over online info,however.

Not personal experience, but if you have the time you could go to Tatiana's Tomatobase and cross-reference her lists of Deterinate Varieties and Potato-Leaved Varieties. kath |

Clario Purple Glacier Karos Apple Tree Black sea man Outdoor girl Doesn't seem to be many such varieties,that's probably the reason I've never seen them before.Not surprising though,since both determinate and potato-leaf are recessive traits,but that's exactly why I want them.I've heard that Black sea man has "green shoulder" trait,which is awesome,I've read that tomatoes with it taste better. |
