IDs, Maybe I'll get lucky

remy · September 17, 2012

Hi All,
I know it is is near impossible to ID from just photos, but I got a few odd ones.

Here is what is suppose to be Golden Dwarf Champion. It is a rugose leaf tree type dwarf. Only problem is the fruit are white mini beefsteaks. I don't know of a tomato that matches this description. Do you?

Here is a beautiful ribbed tomato. This was suppose to be Bear Claw. Other seed from this packet made small roundish globe fruit plants. The red tomatoes as you can see are very flat on the bottom so as the tomatoes sit nicely. The plant is a vigorous RL grower. I've not grown one that looks like this before.

This I think is Berkeley Tie Die. All the plants look like this that were suppose to be Southern Night. I think the trader put the wrong seeds in pkt.

Dwarf Mr. Snow, Venetian Marketplace and either BTD or Large Barred Boar would be my guesses.

Thanks for the guesses!

Dwarf Mr Snow has potato leaves. There is definitely classic rugose foliage on my plants. I've probably had the seeds for a few years too which would make the chance of being from the Dwarf project slim.

That Venetian Marketplace sure looks the same.

I'm still thinking BTD because the inside is green w/red, and Large Barred Boar is red inside.

Remy,
The one GDC with the blossom end up is quite similar to some GDC I grew a few years ago - Seed from Victory Seeds. The color seems right and the description of the plant is spot on. Are all of the fruit oblate or are just a few?

Most of them are oblate. They are clear skinned, definitely white, not yellow. I think they may look a tad yellower in the photo than they do in person.
