That is a form of PL. Pl doesn't just mean smooth edged.

Some kids were born with a silver spoon, but Bill was born with a Spud leaf in his hand.
So it seems that there is more to a potato leaf than meets the eye.... hmmmm

Nothing new, Spud and I were talking yesterday and he says that only 10-15% of all PLs are smooth edged. Not many considering all the PLs listed in Tatianna's site. Some peope are using the term :Intermediate to describe PL forms also. This according to Spud..He has been at it longer than me so.....

I never agreed with spud on that. PL is PL. I think his opinion is a bit biased resulting from his quest to increase his collection. Just my opinion. That leaf pictured is in no way PL in my book.

If I could argue..you know me John,Hehe, I would but , since I have no way of knowing for sure I think a few experts need to be called in on this one. I will still post what Spud says is PL and people, for now can draw thier own conclusions.

You guys are obsessed with leaves. They're all going to be green mush come September.
I looked at the fruit above and said "Oohh I want that!" Then I looked at the tag and said "OHHH I HAVE THAT!"

Not all tomatoes with serrated leaflets have deeply cut leaflets and the leaflets on potato leaf tomatoes can sometimes show lobing of the leaflets and not be completely smooth. The leaflets shown here for the Spuda Yellow Strawberry appear to me to have the characteristics of serrated leaves that don't express deep serrations. From what I have observed, leaflets on potato leaf plants are larger than those on serrated leaf plants and have the distinctive surface appearance of actual potato leaves. A good time to observe and classify the plants is at young plant age when the first true leaves are expanding. Another way to determine potato leaf would be to cross a questionable potato leaf tomato with a clearly distinguishable potato leaf type and look at the leaflets of the F1 hybrid. Also, you could cross a questionable potato leaf plant with a serrated leaf type and look at the F2 population to see if there is clear segregation for potato leaf type.

To me, this is an example of a true Potato Leaf tomato plant, but it has a mix of leaf types on the same plant. Attachments:
