4.46 Marley ’11 (F: 7.33 Hunt x self) “Chelsea”
This plant was a little slow to get going but it has been a great producer with two of these tomatoes weighing in at 977g (or 2.15lbs) and 1028g (or 2.266lbs) respectively! When compared to the other plants grown in the class this has produced both the second and third heaviest weighed to date. This plant was pruned and thinned to try and ensure maximum yield and while initially it was difficult to cull some of the “babies” I think the results justify the difficult decisions that were made earlier in the year.
It was great to be able to show the comparison of this plant to the “Prof. DeBacco” plant that was not pruned or thinned and grown from the same seed and only about 7ft away. This stressed the point that the grower can have a strong influence on what the plant produces.
