Blaby tomato trusses

[pigletwillie]

After scouring the world last year for Blaby tomato seed and finding that a fellow plot holder had some (a small place the world) I now have a dozen strong healthy plants growing and fruiting well.

The trusses are strange, well to me anyway in that they form like any other tomato but then grow a second stage and then aother so you end up with really long trusses. I have never seen this in any other tomato variety that I have grown before. I have seen long trusses but formed all in one go, these as mentioned grow in stages.

Does anybody else growing Blaby have this happening?

Never heard of it but it's an odd growth habit, isn't it? Have you checked with the person you got the seed from?

Don't know if it is the same thing as happened with my Shirley tomato last year. One truss flowered and small fruits formed then a leaf grew from the end furthest from the plant and that flowered again and made more fruits. I had to prop it up as it was so heavy when the fruits matured but they ripened okay. Sorry about the odd discription but it was an odd thing to see.

Yes I have Flum and he confirmed it happened to him last year and this, it must be their growth habit. More truss equals more fruit so I am not complaining.
