In '06, I got seeds from Wintersown in an Heirloom Tomato Mix. One of them was a lg orange beefsteak. I saved seed from a few of them. There is a good possibility they crossed with another variety.
I grew out a few seeds (just to see), and gave plants to one of my friends. I looked at them yesterday. Some of the fruits on both of the plants are "siamese". Kind of like the yellow squash in Johno's avatar. It has the remains of 2 blossoms on the bottom. I can't get a pic until next week. I haven't had time to check if I had volunteers in my garden.
Any idea what causes this? It occurred on 2 separate plants. But only a few fruit on each one. Does this mean it is genetic? They are not even in a garden. They are in DIRT on the side of the house, because my friend just moved there in June. I already told him he cannot keep any of those off-types. They are not for eating. lol
