The inflorescence pattern on HX-9 Tomato at the end of a stem is Fruit-Cluster, Leaf, Leaf, Terminal-Fruit-Cluster.

Another plant from this clade has a less clear pattern. The above pattern exists on some branches, but one branch also has a pattern of Fruit-cluster, Leaf, Fruit-Cluster, Leaf, 2 Fruit-Clusters and a Leaf.

Jagodka also has a mixed pattern, with 2 to 4 fruit clusters per stem, with leaves in between the fruit clusters, terminating with a fruit cluster. But then many of the leaf nodes sent out shoots, and those shoots had 2 to 3 fruit clusters on them following a Fruit-Cluster, Leaf, Terminal-Fruit-Cluster pattern. It's like it's lacking apical dominance... No wonder it is so productive!!!
