Default 21X F3 by way of Barb_FL

Here is another of Dan's crosses. I grew out three of these and got what appears to be three very different plants. #1 is very bushy with very dense foliage. It suffered a great deal from Septoria, and I will probably rip it out in the next day or or so. Had a few ripe tomatoes on it, but are so buried in the dense foliage, that I didn't get them before the bugs did. Dead end for me.

#2 Here is another 21X, and this was (I'd say) multi-flora. Big crest of blooms on it, but hasn't produced any ripe tomatoes yet. Good looking plant and the green toms look to be decent sized. Depending on the taste of the ripe fruit, this one might get another look next season.

#3 Here is the best. It is a fairly small plant, but has a good number of fruit, and I found ripe ones just a couple of days ago. These are good-sized, SWEET, and they don't split. This was grown in an EarthBox Jr. so it had plenty of moisture, but still no splitting. I'll definitely grow this one out again as an F4.
