Default Unknown Potato Leave Black Cherry

Are there any known potoato leave black cherries? The reason I ask is because maybe around 4 or 5 years ago, I received what was labeled as Black Cherry in a round robin. That summer was my first summer getting into starting and saving my own seeds. I did not know all that I know about tomatoes now and what varieties were suppose to look like back then. So I have no idea what the "Black Cherry" looked like when I grew it back then.

Last year, I decided to grow this "Black Cherry" out again and I immediately noticed that it was potato leave. I saved the seed from that to try for this year to see if it remained the same and it did. I do not have the original seed from the round robin to see if the seed was sent to me as a potato leave black cherry or not. So I don't know if this is a cross from my garden from that first year or if the seed was mislabeled and is a different type of black cherry. This black cherry looks almost like a cherry sized cherokee purple. It has a clear epidermis and is potato leave. As with most cherries - it is very prolific. Here is a picture of them.



Thanks,
Mike
