doc--that is really interesting!
I also got a "potato Top" tomato seedling from Jill at holly's.....or so it was labeled.....
The tomatoes it has been bearing are tiny--smaller than Early Girls. Maybe 1 3/4" diameter. The ARE on the slightly pink side, but the size is WAY off! Also the leaves are regular tomato leaves.

Are you saying in your Post above that if one gets "Potato Top" seeds from someone--and grows them--and gets tomatoes--that there is just a RANDOM chance that you will get a real "Potato Top" plant out of it????????

That is just mind-boggling!!!!!

Here is a plate-full of my first harvest. The 4 "biggies" are "Cherokee Purples". The med. sized ones (at 10 O'clock) are "Early Girl", and the 4 stacked on top of each other below them are the ones that were supposed to be the P.'s. All subsequent fruits on this plant have been the same size. tasty--yeah! But so tiny! The red cherries are "Sweet 100's"....
