Which is the reason for growing open pollinated types; there's a project in
the U.S. (and Australia, IIRC) to produce dwarf tomato stock crossed with
some popular heirlooms. They've already got some stable breeding lines of
small but productive "heirloom" tomatos.
Look up "Tomatoville."
Cheers: awesome website !
I'll have no reason to ask tomato questions in here !
