Brandywine OTV: Are all potato leaf tomato plants this beautiful? I know its not the best picture, but look at the well proportioned leaves, poised branches, and the bright smooth color. Its my only potato leaf and I am curious if all or some other varieties with this trait look like this.

For those curious tomatofest offers 40 varieties with this trait, but I have no experience with any of them except OTV:

I love potato leaf varieties. They do look vigorous.
I love the way they look as well. The pink brandywine plants look so jurassic
Absolutely hate to break it to you but I think you’ve got leaf miner damage there
Beauty plant I’m going to try Brandywine suddath this year
I’m planning on growing out and have seedlings currently for twelve different varieties of tomatoes, seven of which are potato-leafed. Potato leafed tomatoes, that type of foliage is a recessive trait so selected for. Superbly flavored tomatoes often seem to come with the recessive potato leafed genes. Brandywine Cowlick’s is a sprawling monster of a potato leafed plant. Japanese Black Trifele is sort of a determinate potato leafed type, a smallish plant compared to other indeterminates. Pruden’s Purple is the super model thin and tall potato leafed type, not much meat on those bones. This season in addition to Pruden’s Purple and B. Cowlick’s, I have KBX, Cleota Pink, Lucky Cross, Marianna’s Peace, and Vorlon as new to me potato-leafed types.
I love potato leaf varieties especially Karen Olivier’s tomatoes they’re exceptional 👌🏼
