Abbey's Catch
This was a yellow, potato-leaved pear-shaped cherry that I grew for about 5 years, thinking that it was Yellow Pear. Unfortunately, I cannot remember if it was always potato-leaved (wrong for YP, but right for Yellow Submarine). Last year, it gave me round yellow cherry tomatoes which were early and prolific, as usual.
I grew two F2's inside this winter (in a pot) and got exactly the same round yellow cherry tomatoes. I'm guessing that it will be edible tomorrow, so that will make it 90 days to maturity from sowing the seed! Is this a mutation or did I have some cross pollination going on? I didn't grow any other yellow varieties, and the only PL tomato that I grew was Stupice, so that sounds an unlikely cross, given that Stupice is red. Linda |
