And also note from the link that different fruit shapes can be seen

And just b/c, I played a small part with Dr. Wyche's Yellow and helped get that one spread around as well,

Just noting that you are very correct when you say that not all places sell the right plants. Best is getting seed for the varieties you want to grow and there are some good and bad seed places as well, and there are some places that ship plants and I do trust a couple of them.

Carolyn- of course I have your book, and Craig's is on the way, and the reason I bought the plant was due to your review! So thank you for bringing these great varieties to the states and to the world.
There is another possibility- my lowest tomatoes are sometimes small, then get bigger as you go up. I have other trusses developing now. We shall see!!
