We grew them as a novelty. Every kind of bug in the area loved the taste of the tomatoes. If one of us had fallen into the plant - it would have hurt! It took nearly 30 minutes to cut and remove the two plants because of how thorny they are.

Yes I am partial to dwarf and container/ compact friendly .... I have Bonte Tigerette going and the plants are very pleasing and distinct light green colour ......will be interesting to see the stripes on the fruit etc.

Dark fruit. The plant remains wispy and dark as well.

That will be a fun one to watch Karen, as it ripens! With those spidery sepals, it looks like a ghoulish Halloween tomato!

Spike looks a lot like the Carrot-like, Silvery Fir tree and other 'carrot-leaved' varieties..
Growing Lucinda this season, and it has beautiful foliage. Just like the other carrot ones, plenty of thickly growing leaves, very decorative. |
