Growing Tomatoes

Did I cross my Amish Paste?

10 years ago

This is supposed to be an Amish Paste tomato, but I think it may have accidently crossed with a Pineapple tomato plant. none of the pictures I've found for Amish paste show that striped look, and some of the Pineapple tomato pictures I've seen do.

I picked up both plants at the farmer's market on a whim and after a little research planted them about eight feet apart with some peppers and squash filling the gap.

Did I cross them or is this normal?

It's neither Amish Paste nor Pineappple.

If crosspollination does occur, you don't see the results of that in thesame season that the cross happened, only in the saved seeds from the result of that cross sown the next year.

To me it looks like the Amish Paste you bought at the farmers market was not that, if that's what you show in the picture, nor is it Pineapple.

I can't tell you what it is, since there are many such striped varieties and there's no wa yto know.

The person selling the plants could wel l have sold you ones that were crossed already.

Looks like the result of a switched tag on the plant you brought. There are many different stripped paste varieties - Sunset Falls, Speckled Roman, Tonnelet , Stripped Roman, to name just a few.

Just enjoy it.
