Multiple tomato flower blossom
When your tomato plants grow these massive conjoined flowers, and when those flowers get properly pollinated, you will grow a huge bumpy conjoined tomato. I have these flowers on my Beefmaster plants right now. I’ll update with pictures if I get tomatoes from these monster blossoms.
Siamese tomato blossom. Yeah, I know, that term is no longer P.C.

Make me lose control.
Knowledge is the best prep.
Practice your skills now.
Not much that you buy and store away is going to be useful if you don’t know how to use it.

I had one of those on my Mr. Stripey. Unfortunately it seemed to prevent any other buds growing (and didn’t appear to even be close to blossoming itself)–so I cut it off and now I’m pretty sure I finally see some buds forming. Would have been interesting to let it go, but I’d rather have a bunch of tomatoes over an experiment (at least, when you have as many plants as I do…)

It’s called a Megabloom. It is a trait of beefsteaks. It should be a monster.

I definitely have a couple green tomatoes from these or similar flowers. I’ll post pictures in a new posting later.
