I think this is a really good quality video! Tomato breeding is great fun!

@lievendavid6774 6 месяцев назад

Great! I've been following roughly the same procedure since 1990.

@jacobbullon649 Месяц назад

Seriously this is the most informative tomato breeding video out there! You deserve more views!

Thank you, Jacob. It's my favorite topic!

Thanks for the detailed process. I am attempting a cross between a Pink Brandywine and a unknown medium oxheart shaped tomato. My neighbor gave me some San Marzono tomatos and I saved the seeds. The oxheart shape was one of them seeds and was definitely an early determinate. The shelf life on the unknown was four months and counting.

Fantastic! If you got an oxheart out of a San Marzano, that might be an F1 cross that happened by a bee. Your saved seed might be an F2 seed.

So cool and very well taught! Thank you! I have been successful in breeding apples varieties BUT I'm four years into the project and yet to taste my first creation. To think I could I could do the same technique and taste the fruit of our labors so soon has me interested. I have 3 tomatoes I'm growing this year. Brandywine, Stupice, and Amish Paste. Hopefully I can try breeding one or several of those. Thank you again!

It's ironic that you mention apple breeding because I have tried my hand at that. While apples may take 10-15 years, tomatoes take about 8 years. It's nice to get results a little faster, as it is definitely a labor of love! Any rare apple varieties you work with? I was hoping to combine the disease resistance of Spartan, Enterprise, and Liberty with something tasty like Viking. Most of my apple whips died in the winter.

@ShearGoodness I like the older apples - Swiss Limbertwig, Melrose, Akane-- I have many crosses and graft them on b9 rootstocks. I plant them 3 feet apart and train them as an espalier fruiting wall. This year will be the 4 th leaf year and suspect I might see my first fruit next year. Your teaching sure parallels my experience with apples and since watching it I remember having an interest in breeding tomatoes years ago. Thank you again!
