I got these seeds from Spud, it had the original peoples letter in the seed pack, I wont divulge what was in it...its a suprise for later, this is not the one listed at Tanias site. Spud is the only known source, well Spud and I. He gave me the last 2 seeds known on this earth, I almost lost one plant...Thank God I pulled it through!! This is the one that has the giant...not big...GIANT leaves. Spud is a Master along with most members here, I am very proud to be the New Crown Prince of the Potato Leaf, as dubbed by Spud...and..The Black Master. There will never be another Spudleaf Willie, the undisputed King of The potato Leaf!!!! This ones for you Spud!!!

Here is the ripe fruit, although the letter spud enclosed from the people who raised it says it is a yellow, this is what came out. It is also a very good tasting tomato.

Dean,
Your second photo of the pink fruit + potato leaf foliage make me think this is the same as Childers that Neil Lockhart lists at SSE Yearbook. Neil's description is 90 days, indet., potato leaf plant, 10-16 oz, pink, low acid fruit, very good flavor, good yield. the original seeds came from Chuck Wyatt via Albert Beck MO.
