frogsleap and Tom -
My experience is similar. Cooler temperatures and strong, direct light bring out the color. My plant habit appears slightly different, though that might be culture. I would expect the color to be partially dominant, but we'll have to grow out the F2 to know. Sounds like that's where you are, Tom. I am trying crosses to both yellow and red tomatoes using OSU as the mother. I wonder if we'll see anything resembling the peruvian complex parent in the next generation since they probably used a bridge species and who knows what else. Here are a couple of photos. What do you guys think we should try?
