Did I Make My Own Variety?

9 years ago

This year I only had room for 7 of the 8 seedlings in my raised beds. Primo Red, large beefsteak with a mild smooth inside. The 8th seedling I had forgotten about in my " hardening off zone. "


Three weeks had gone by, and #8 was hanging onto dear life, still in its 1 liter pot. It had 1 bunch of tiny fruit starting.

I transplanted into a 40L container with a shot of miracle grow and the next couple days it started to take off.


It has produced lots of fruit since then but all of it a 1/4 of the varieties size. The flavour is very intense and quite delicious.

If I was to collect and save these seeds, would they grow the same 1/4 size tomatoes? Or would it go back to growing the 8.5 Oz fruit?
