Am I the only one not getting any mega blooms from this plant?
Plant is growing huge.
I am going to lots of tomatoes for salads, spaghetti and pizza sauces along with fried green tomatoes.

i think it is 6.13 brutus magnum. I had 2 of 4 with megas on first truss, I lost one..still have one going. This plant definitely shows unique characteristics. Early growth is much more aggressive than the big zacs. The branches tend to be willowy with small leaves, the fruit shows up somewhat wrinkly with what i consider triangle shapes. I am not sure how I will do with mine this year but will try to grow the seeds of my best one out next year. Still thinking about the delbrut cross. Somewhat fun, trying to figure out how to get the most out of a variety that reacts like almost a different vegetable. Lee Zappa is the expert with this variety. Thank you Lee for the seeds.
