I've always been led to believe that BER in the tomato fruit begins at the base of the Columella/Pericarp, as this is the weakest part of a tomato fruit. Thoughts?

Hello Slugworth,
that's a strange thing. I mean that they never ripen. Of course, the conditions are different, but it raises a suspicion that it may not be BER, or BER combined with something else. Actually, MSchep's pictures don't show typical symptoms of BER as I know it. Even though everyone says it's BER, I am not convinced. The symptoms are similar to the damage caused by Alternaria (early blight). I can't be sure either way.
