Stick/Curl was grow as a growout for Tatiana, Plant grew very tall 5-6'. Needs support to hold stem up, yields for this plant were very but I grew Stick from a couple sources and I found that the seeds that Tatiana sent me were far better as production and growth compared to the other stick, having more flowers per truss and more fruit set. The taste I found to be very good, not the best not the worst, it was above my expectation for the fruit on this novelty tomato. The kids loved the plant. Calling it "Odd".

History

• Developed by Young, P. A., Tomato Disease Laboratory, Agricultural Experimental Station, Jacksonville, Texas. In Jour. of Hered. 46:243-244, 1955, P. A. Young describes a dominant mutant which he termed Cu or Curl and which he located in 1953 as a mutant on a plant of the Stokesdale variety. Because the vines are distinctly non-suckering in type, Gleckler Seedsmen of Metamora, Ohio, listed Cu in 1959 as Stick.
• USDA PI 330725. Listed as Curl. Donated to USDA in 1968, from United States.
• SSE TOMATO 361.
