Just a small update on the 2 neorickii tomatoes.Check this out:


Same pot size,same soil,same watering.The one on the left is kept with pruning to a single stem,the other one left growing freely.This is why I always prune all my tomatoes to a single stem.Single stem also allows more plants/surface area,useful for any breeder.More fruit/area that way,too.Also,the single-stem one gave me 4 beautiful babies (the other one-none)


They don't seem to be gaining any size anymore,but I'll let them hanging until they drop or the pedicles start to dry just to be sure,since this species has green fruit.

The whiteflies are all over the place,and the russet mite destroyed most of the plants already,but the 2 neorickii plants seem to be unaffected.There seems to be some minor damage from the whiteflies,but they seem completely immune to the russet mite,which is great news for me since I had major problems with this pest.
