Ever seen anything like this before?

Maybe this is not such a rare occurence, but definietly a first for me!

If not obvious from the picture: the end of the fruit truss continued to grow as a sucker producing new leaves and some flowers. Pretty unusual sight. image

    It sometimes happens with my tomatoes too.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    What's the variety, Andras? Indeterminates do it. Unusual for determinates.

    Pretty normal, I would say.  Just snap it off at the node.

    Are you removing all the side-shoots, when they are small?

    ..happens on mine all the time... that is, if you are a bit lax in noticing it happening in the first place, as usually I would snap that off before it got very far...image
