Rose,
Your spoon tomato is NOT Silvery Fir Tree. SFT does have ferny or
carrot-top foliage (it also goes by the name Carrot Top tomato), but its
fruit are in the 3-8 ounce range. SFT is an open-pollinated heirloom
from
Russia introduced to the retail American market by Kent Whealy of Seed
Savers Exchange. I'd love to know what your spoon tomato is--especially
with such interesting foliage. Why don't you save some seeds and see if
the
tomato reproduces itself?
