First,I'd like to say that I never tried anything like this before and don't know much about it,but,
I would like to see if I could cross some different toms to eventually grow some giant size ones.I found this on another post;
"Many varieties that are potato leaved and have large pink fruits often show very large double and triple blossoms early in the season which are quite attractive to insect pollinators, and some other varieties do the same. And sometimes the result is fused fruits. So it's best to not use fused fruits for seed saving since one or the other of the fused fruits could be cross-pollinated."
So would it be a good idea to cross a ind. pink fruited potato leaf with something that commonly has megablooms(like Kellogs? any other suggestions?) to potentially get a plant that has big fruit.Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
