| I tried this Old German heirloom this year, but each fruit has a diseased spot on the bottom. I also have a friend that has the same problem. The tomato plant is beautiful, and loaded with fruit. Has anyone else had this problem? |

| Blossom end rot. Likely inconsistent moisture levels. |

| From seeing the pictures of it, I have always liked to grow one. It has a beautiful bi color pattern , both inside and outside. Here is a picture from internet. |

| My Old German doesn't look like the rot on this picture. I did go to the F&Q. We drip irrigate, and water is not the problem( the rest of my tomatoes are beautiful ). I think it could be not enough calcium. It appears that the plant needs a great deal of it. Thanks for your responses, but I think that I won't plant this one again, Judy |

| ^Not enough calcium is related to blossom end rot, but simply adding calcium does not work since the plant cannot process it. If you read the link provided, you will learn more. |
