Look what I found
 

It's end of season here in Florida; none of the big fruited plants are setting fruit due to night time low temps in the mid 70s. As I was removing over ripe and split tomatoes from one of my plants, I found this on the pool deck.

I then peeled away the skin shell and the tomatoes were super root bound; not sure if you can see, but some of them actually have a true set of leaves.

I have never seen anything like this; usually if I don't pick a ripe tomato it rots, it splits and bugs (fruit flies) attack.

I wish I had a picture taken of the skin shelled removed.

Never saw anything like that before

Way cool! Gonna try to grow any?

It is called Vivipary. It happened to an Early Girl tomato years ago for us. It is very weird to see.

WOW! Super cool.

Cute pot!:twisted:

Gruesome.

What variety?

Oy vey! That's a lot of seedlings in one weird tomato.

That's amazing!!! :D8-)

Alien creepy almost. In the movie people would eat tomatoes from these and first notice armpit hair sprouting, then eyebrows and head hair. It spreads and the world is overrun by walking chia pets marauding for fertilizer.

It's natures way of replenishing its own self.The placenta of the mater will have enough water ,nutrient,and its own self for food.Usually only one will survive,after falling ,rolling,buried,frozen(up there��).Rolling into a stream is nice also.Used to save them,not enough time.OVERNIGHT LOWS HERE ARE 80 85,90 95 day time ,no rain we are packing up and heading up there.
