Fuzzy leaf varieties in crosses

Fusion_power · January 20, 2007

I like to grow fuzzy leaf varieties mostly for the novelty of seeing peoples faces when they realize that funny looking plant is a tomato. This year I have something unusual to work on. I grew a Cherokee Chocolate in 2006 that I am almost certain is a bee made cross with Smoky Mountain Red. The leaves and stems were heavily pubescent, not to the degree that Smoky Mountain Red is, but much more than any normal tomato.

Would anyone else be interested in growing out a few seed to see what they produce?
