I agree, but it is a tough one since often the first leaves to form are PL and as the plant matures one can see the blunt serrations on the leaf margin that indicate RL.

Thanks. A blind test. I had called it RL, but wanted some back up since the ancestry is in question. Was supposed to be a preacher joe but it gives pink fruits instead of red. To me, PL leaves are usually much bigger but I guess they don't have to be.

it's funny, the 1st leaf my eye saw was just below dead center and a little to the right and that 1 leaf looks like pl but all the rest are rl imo.

RL, in my humble estimation.
