Hence the reason you shouldn't read that mag.

They have no clue.

I can't beleive they would say something like that.

Now that being said, every pink, red, black/brown/purple, yellow, white, orange etc are all the exact same tomato just with differant names. Just not the marbeled ones.

just saw this as well :

Can you increase fruit set on tomatoes by pollinating the flowers by hand with a camel hair's brush? NO! In spite of several books and articles claiming you can. TOMATOES ARE SELF-POLLINATING, requiring just a slight movement of the flower truss to set fruit. We tell you what really helps tomatoes set fruit and ripen them early into the bargain.
So now I am learning that there is no way at all that a brush/electric toothbrush can help pollination. I suppose this means for indoor plants as well. Boy was i wrong, I will throw my pollinator toothbrush immediately.
