Just as a re-reference (so we don't have
to keep going back to the first page)
here is mine ...
Like I'm meantioned, its stayed
quite small -
Right where that "bubble" is towards the
bottom, is where the 4-cots showed up ...

Whilst selling seedlings at a market last weekend I notice a Tommy Toe plant exactly like the Soldacki above. I put it aside and will grow him out as well. TT's grow like weeds anyway so this one will be interesting.
Need some more TT seeds anyway.

is Tommy Toe a hybrid Mantis ?
I would like to try it ~

Tommy Toe is a prolific (read here hundreds) red cherry. Its downfall is that the stem pulls out when picking them leaving a raggid hole in the top. So the trick is to pick the stem not the fruit. They are a largish cherry with a tart flavour, not liked by some. Be warned, they can take over your yard.

Yellow Pear (my first heirloom) took
over my garden like that ...

The weed characteristic carries on in the F1 crosses as well. I crossed Nepal with TT and got a plant that pumped out about a hundred golf ball sized fruit all summer.

Any updated pics of your mutant ???

Yeah Tom, here it is. About 9 fruit set on the first trusses and lots of flowers now as each stem has split in two again. Its going to take a lot of tieing up when the fruit get some weight.

That Soldacki is an animal.

Nice to see some sun there. Drab rain here for days.

I just found a remarkable beer: Knappstein (as in winery) Enterprise Brewery Reserve Lager 5.6%. Top taste.

Mantis · November 5, 2006

Send some rain down here eh. 2mm of it in October and 1.4mm so far in Nov. None forcast for at least a week. No frosts forcast either which is good.
Soldacki is outgrowing all those around it again this year. Love this baby.
