Draculas best Halloween tomato.
Wispy Hearts often have elongated buds but particularly so in this case.
Hideous plant and I look forward to seeing what it does if it doesn't die from not enough chlorophyll?
This is not typical of the variety, more than normal from what I have seen of others plants. Has yet to set a fruit and looks a little stressed although planted and cared for as all my other normal plants.
Anyhow, have you looked at the plants, dwarfs with lime green chartreuse foliage black bear? There are some Cherokee tiger large red for example. They look very different.
