I received this in a trade. It is setting fruit in trusses of 6 or more tomatoes. Is this Paul Robeson, or do I have a cross?

I'm growing PR this year and I got my seeds from Tomatofest. They too are growing in trusses of 6 or so tomatoes. I'd say on that basis you are still good to go with PR.

Do you need to tie up the trusses?

Salsacharley · July 17, 2013

Not at this point. Yours are further along than mine. They are supposed to grow to 4" size, so 6 on a truss might need support.

Perhaps it is a bit too early to tell, but the fruit shape does not look right - it is too round. But maybe fruits are still too small...

I love PR my fav, and mine grow to a great orange/green color, but mine do not grow like yours at all.Also the fruits grows from or near the center stem. But i see a cluster on last summers plant which died really fast as shown fungus which killed all plants. Also as shown they are flat fruits
