Growing tomatoes for the first time this year and I have 1 Bush at approx 5ft high that has only 2 tomatoes on it.. The rest are producing loads.. I decided to cut this guy off as I suspect he's sucking the life from the rest of the plant.
Have u ever seen a tomato like this? Its about 3.5 inches in diameter..

Maybe Dougie will come back and tell us where he got his seeds/ plant. It seems to be very rare.
Tatiana's tomatobase which is the be all and end all of tomato information doesn't list anyone currently selling it.

J&L Gardens Seed which was listed as having it a couple years ago, doesn't seem to. But it has a similar red pleated (but not quite as heavily pleated) tomato called Marilyn's Best.

Bummer that the OP never came back to tell us what the ripe fruits look like. I was going to post this but he hasn't come back and I totally forgot about this thread

-- looks like a red to me right now, but be sure to do the epi/skin test. If the gel is green then this would be a "Black"
Are you saying a double is a rare occurrence? I can't remember now.
Is it like these?
