Caroyln, I was referring to both on my Chapman; but just by coincidence I got the internal kind, I guess, on my one surviving Cowlicks. I was cutting up some tomatoes for seed saving and I cut through a medium sized beautiful red Cowlick's Brandywine only to find the interior to be very black. I have never seen it that bad in a healthy looking tomato. I have seen small areas but never the complete center of the fruit with no outward manifestations.
Possibly this could be the result of the plant having TSWV. I spotted the TSWV on this plant on the 8th of June and it has still produced well over a dozen tomatoes that have been very good. The first tomatoes off the plant after the initial stage of the infection were a little on the small side but as the plant has continued to live and seemingly get a little stronger the fruit size has increased.
