Can someone help me identify these seedlings? The seed pack was labeled “Brandywine Red” heirloom tomatoes. The leaves certainly don’t look like tomato leaves..

I recall my Brandywine tomatoes had leaves like that.

Yes, my Brandywines looked like that to start with too. They look strong.

Here…you may find this interesting. Happens a few times a year that people wonder if their Brandywines are mislabeled. I saved this a week ago just in case of a post like this and the inevitable ones that will pop up over the next couple months.
My mom & I run an heirloom tomato plant growing & shipping business.
We have grown so many different types of tomatoes that show all kinds of different leaves.
The majority of Brandywine varieties that we have ever grown here are ‘potato leaf’ , just like this one.
Customers are often surprised to see that many varieties present this way, so you are not the only one. 🙂
But even worse than the ‘potato leaf’ situation that people get surprised about our varieties that have ‘wispy leaves’ like San Marzano Redorta, Italian Heirloom , Red Mamba, and Jutland
The leaves look really wispy , like a weeping willow tree , and people always think that the tomato plant is unhealthy.
And of course, lately, everybody is growing dwarf tomatoes , and sometimes the dwarf tomato varieties are potato leaf too , and they’re all crinkly!
So you have really super crinkly ‘potato’ leaves on a tiny little plant, and people accuse you of selling them something that’s not a tomato!
