Black Krim Vx Cherokee Purple

crmauch · August 16, 2017

Ultimately, flavor between these two is probably the most important thing, but I think I've noticed a few things, particularly regarding Black Krim (BK). I have 2 Cherokee Purple(CP) and 4 BK plants. It appears to me that BK has a far more "lobed' fruit than CP. Some of my BK's are smoother than others, but all seem to have some degree of ridging. Is this typical of BK?

Florescence: I've seen this on other tomatoes, but this 'pattern' seems more common on BK. Instead of the florescence terminating, it forms a new growth point. Seems like almost ever raceme is doing this. Is this typical of BK?

I look forward to your replies.
