| This year I have grown eight Campari tomato plants from supermarket tomatoes (F2). From these I have selected two plants from which to harvest seeds (flavour, productivity, overall appearance regarding health). On one of these plants the first truss produced a double truss or double cluster of some 13 tomatoes. It was the only double-truss occurrence. Question: are double-trusses a trait that can be promoted through selection and, if so, would the seeds saved from the double-trussed fruit be more likely to continue the trait than seeds from "normal-trussed" fruits of the same plant? Regards, |

| It sounds as if you are asking if this double truss is a genetic trait? No. IME it is little more than random happenstance primarily related to the effects of growing conditions at that stage of growth. Dave |
