This is an F1 hybrid cross between a micro flora gold (orange dwarf cherry tomato) and the green zebra (indeterminate green and yellow striped slicer tomato). My goal is to save these seeds and grow this plant many years to try to stabilize something cool! I’m hoping by the second generation the dwarf characteristics will show back up. I’m considering back crossing to the dwarf again to try to increase those odds. Regardless this will be fun. Oh also I’m not sure why the cotyledons look so round I think they just had trouble getting out of the seed. I planted one seed and it sprouted which is a good sign. I saved about 50 seeds of this cross.

    Good luck! Make sure you update when you get ripe fruit.

    And I’m always willing to Beta test any hybrids!!

    I will also test all tomatoes!!

    Some dwarf cotyledons just turn out that way, totally normal.

    Question…..how many plants are you going to grow this year to find one with the best attributes you want to continue on?

    I had a surprise hybrid grow last year and saved seed I’m planning to grow this year. Debating on how many to grow
