I thought this would make a fun cross, the lovely light green foliage of Tigerette as a background to blue black fruits from Micro Blue all on mini tomato dwarf plants. But the F2's of a similar cross I grew out a couple of years ago looked a bit sickie looking, Pale green leaves tinged blue - not the best look. But I've decided to give it another whirl; I've sown the F2 seed I have (plus sown some of the F1's as I didn't have that many and will need a bigger sample to select from).
Result, lots of little dwarf seedlings, I'm just hoping I can find the couple of micros that might be amongst them.

The above Chartreuse foliage is quite distinct and an easy recessive trait to select for at an early stage. I'd be happy to find one along the line that doesn't have the blue Antho, but as it's dominate, that will be harder to select.

Some interesting sizes, nice and stocky
