Potato-Leaved Cherry & Paste Types?

14 years ago

2010 is going to be "the year of potato-leaved tomatoes" for my garden and Earth Boxes. Right now I'm planning on Stupice, Magnus, Brandywine OTV, and Brandy Boy.

I've looked for (but not found) any varieties of paste/plum or cherry tomatoes that have potato-type leaves. Anyone know of any?

Has anyone grown "Tumbler F1" (not "Tumbling Tom") and noted if Tumbler had potato leaves? As I grew it last summer, it appeared to be, but I've never seen it mentioned in any catalog that way,

Potato Blight affects potato-leaved tomatoes less than other varieties . There is only about 50% leaf loss on potato-leaved tomatoes attacked by the blight.
