Blossom End Rot Observation

jtharper76 · June 8, 2009

With all 35 plants producing Maters at one stage or another, I have noticed something. Have have 2 determ. varieties growing this year and they are the ONLY maters showing BER. The Bush Early Girls and the Supertasty Bush (both from burpee) are developing it on some of the fruits but not all. However all my Heirlooms and OP varieites have developed it on NO fruits at all? Anyone wanna comment on why this might be.

I cannot comment on the determinant part but I grew early girl (Indet) and it was the only one that I had BER issue with and did not care for the taste. Unfortuantly the next year I could not pass up trying another hybrid plant and it ended up to be early girl (indet) mis-labled plant and again only one with BER issues that year.
