A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Food Garden Forum The Tomato Forum 2 odd tomato questions and something cool!

Got 2 odd questions about tomatoes.

1- What is the worlds smallest tomato? What variety is it, and how small is it really?
2- I have a grape tomato growing that is round like a cherry tomato. What causes this mutation?

I also now have a siamese Beefmaster tomato growing, the siamese flower took so I hope it ripens in time so I can post pictures and save it's seeds for next year and try to get more of them. :)

Currant red. Staking. This is Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium, one of the wild progenitors of the domestic tomato. The vigorous plants produce sprays of pea sized fruit of unremarkable but perfectly acceptable flavor. The smallest tomato available. Main season
I don't know why your grape tomatoes are round. And cool on the beefmaster.

Another one is Lycopersicon esculentum. Plant produces heavy yields of tiny red pea size tomatoes. Ten tomatoes will fit on a spoon! One of the smallest tomatoes in the world.

Cool!
