Bonsai?

OtterJon · July 4, 2013

Ok so I don't ask questions often, but started some Tiny Tims about 4 and half months ago from seed, in a 4in peat pot using pro-mix bx....they never ended up getting individually repotted.(.Plants are only 3in tall...micro leaves.) I started a bunch of other micros for breeding purposes.and forgot about them...Anyhow,they are so tiny even now..are flowering with tiny flowers and setting truly diminuative fruit...The tomato next to a penny is several weeks old.....my question is...when they ripen, will the saved seeds retain any extremely small features? The fruit is so much smaller than I've ever seen....so I'm curious if offspring would revert.....Thanks

That is INSANE.

Insanely cool!

I do hope you can reproduce this, if it's genetic. On the plus side, you'll be able to grow them out very quickly to see, if that's only a few weeks old!

Oops, just reread more carefully. The tomato is only a few weeks old, not the plant.

Anyway, is it possible it's dwarfed by conditions? I had a Better Boy that I didn't realize was getting less sun than its neighbors, but it grew regular-sized fruit.
