Default This Is NOT SFT

I put this 4-gallon container out in the street so you can get a good profile view of the plant ... whatever it is ... it's about 4 feet tall and growing like a weed.




For comparison, look at this Silvery Fir Tree growing in the same size container ... it's a stumpy, lumpy, bushy, dwarf thing about 18 inches tall.





The next two pictures are flower trusses on the plant that's not an SFT ... they look kinda like cherry tomato flower trusses don't they?





And here's a little green tomato on the Not SFT plant. It looks like a little grape tomato, huh?




Nothin' like the flowers and fruit on the real SFT ...



So, what the heck is it? I found it in a six-pack of typical RL cherry tomato seedlings at a farm supply store in May. It's been wispier and taller than my three SFTs all along. The stems and foliage are thin and erect, not dense and crumpled like the SFT.

Updates as they happen ...
