I grew red spoon tomato from seed, the plant grew great and matches red spoon perfectly, from leaf shape to plant size. But the tomatoes aren't the size of peas instead the size of cherries! Why are they so big?
Red spoon tomato issue
Spoon got to be named b'c Park Seeds years ago showed the wee ones in a spoon. Sigh.
They are just another red currant variety and should be the size of currants.
Where was your seed from and is it a big cherry or small one and does the foliage show that it is a currant variety whch is different from non-currants?

I got seed in a pack from a organic nursery. The fruit is as big as a US quarter not sure if that's big or small cherry. Yes foliage definetly shows its currant the leaves are very dark green and spiky looking the edges of the leaves have many points. The tomato plant is over 6 feet tall also very large!
Here is the leaves
Here is the resulting tomatos, not red at all.
Keith, methinks you'd better find another source is you want to grow Spoon, but I'd also suggest that you might want to consider Sara's Galapagos as a wee red one.
