I have grown Silvery Fir Tree, for 3 season in PNW and every year I had cat faced fruits.
But this year , growing in NC, my 2 plant have about 20 tomatoes, none is cat faced.
The dog comes from the wolf, the wolf has few genetic problems nor do dogs that look like wolves.
Many breeds of dogs do, bad back, bad hips, ear mites due to floppy ears, cancer you name it.
The tomatoes we see come from smaller types like cherry tomatoes.
Cherry tomatoes have few problems the closer they get to the ones that evolved through time like wild cherry.
