Carolyn,

Here is a picture showing different shapes of tomatoes on the Prue plants that I have. Reading about it on the link you provided does mention the different types. So in saving seed, does one save seeds from both types separately or mix them up together? Or am I still hunting the true Prue variety?

George,

I think you do have the "true" type. It is simply a cultivar which produces tomatoes of different shapes. In all probability you could separate seed according to shape until the end of time, but you would still grow tomatoes of different shapes on the same plant. I suppose it is possible that isolating seed according to shape could eventually cause a plant to only produce one shape, but I think it would be improbable.

Agree with Ted,

Tom Galluci has said that it was that way for his late FILaw and for him as well,and I know I saved seeds,together,from all shapes, as I think Tom did as well.

I have no idea,really,what one might get saving seeds from just one shape,one could always try, but IMO it's more important to preserve what the original was and should be.
