HI Carolyn,
You could also add in Casey's Pure Yellow (from Green Giant). A customer who grew out my Striped Sweetheart had it mutate into Dark Striped Sweetheart.....it must be the cold,

I forgot about those.

The cold, who knows, but it's been way too cold for me and it's almost April.

I wish I wasn't so ignorant many years ago when I had the two somatic mutations b'c I never saved seed from them.

One was Green Gage, which is a yellowish pre 1800 variety and one branch had all red fruits. I did find that long ago Green Gage also gave plants with red fruits.

The other one was Dix Doight de Naples where one branch still had red fruits but the shape was completely different.

Jeff, please keepusupdated on your ornage frujited Venus oplants, the ones with variegated foliage, so weallknow what happens.

When the weather warms up do you set plants outside or do you do most of your tomato growing inside? And I ask knowing that temps can influence the expression of that trait. But I think I remember that you also have grown Variegata so know all about that.

The little one is starting to flower!

Awesome! Will be interesting to see if the flowers and fruit show variegation. There are some gorgeous variegated lines popping up on another forum.

Hi Chris,
I hope to see the same level of leaf, stem and fruit variegation as occurs on Variegated.

Me too Jeff, me too.

And that's b/c so many times variegated plants have shown up but turn out not to be stable.

And there are quite a few who have used Variegated to cross with other varieties as well, but the resultant plants/varieties named would not be the same, as to the spontaneous appearance of Variegata type variegation.

There are several variegated accessions known but they have to be vegetatively propagated, not seed determined as is Variegata.

What a cutie Jeff, looking forward to your updates

I had a Lange Ærmer variegated turn up last year, not as vivid as Variegated but quite pretty. I sowed a few seeds and the young plants showed some variegation but it was too late in the season to grow them on. So although the variegation seems to have been past on I've no idea to what extent.

Jeff, that is awfully cute! (For a man eating demon plant)

Interesting, Jayc! I was not familiar with that tomato, and looked it up in Tania's dbase. I see it's a Tom Wagner production with green striped fruit. I wonder if anyone else growing his seed of Lange Ærmer might have seen anything similar in the leaves, or if you're just the lucky one.

Yes one of Tom Wagner's creations I haven't heard of anyone else finding one similar at the moment, I did send Tom back some seeds earlier on this year.

Hi Jeff, I just wondered if there was an update on your gorgeous little plant?

[dokutaaguriin]

Hi Jayc,
Unfortunately it was only a small part of the plant that came out variegated. The rest of the plant was normal.

Jeff,

I wonder what was then with your variegated dwarf from 2013.
Fruit size, flavor, productivity... Has it got a very special variety name from you?)
