Reply to comment by 1feralengineer in One of my tomato plants is producing seedless tomatoes shaped like chilis by PasgettiMonster

Lol.

Based on conversations with people in the vegetable gardening sub it's because I used seeds that someone saved from their garden and gave to me and the variety of tomato that they saved the seeds from is a hybrid and is not stable so future generations don't necessarily come out looking like the parent plant. I have a total of four plants and every one of them produces slightly different tomatoes despite the seeds coming from the same batch. I'm hoping at least some of these have seeds because I want to save them to see what they do in the next generation.

Tomatos were super tasty and my plant is covered in hundreds of them, mostly still green so this will be fun!

Not sure it's true of every variety but you can sometimes successfully clone tomato plants.

I am planning on doing that. However I was curious to see what the following generation would look like. If it's unstable it's possible I'll get completely different results with each generation so it would have been fun to keep it going and see what happened. These were some of the smaller skinny tomatoes on the plant that ripened first. There are some more that are larger so hopefully I'll manage to coax a couple of seeds out of those.
