also what does fruit look like? any pictures of bammer's luck tomatoes out there?--thanks

I grew it last year, small to medium sized tomato, very prolific, good taste.

I don't remember the leaf type, it looks RL in the photos.

Actually the breeder says he was looking for PL's. I went looking at the forum I received the seeds through, and the post where I commented that of four seeds started I had 2 PLs, and two that were varying degrees of mitten leaves, one closer to RL. He said some mittens were ok, but strong PL's were preferred. The pictures he posted for the previous generation were a dark burnished red with greenish stripes. Mine were pretty much just the solid dark shade in the pictures. I'll be interested to see if the stripes show up for you.

Here's a link to my tomato seedling catalog for this year, and a pretty good photo of Bammer's Luck is just a couple of pages in. My catalog lists it as regular leaf, but I can't guarantee that is correct. I need to go out to the tomato patch and check.

Ok, so I just today got to the Bammers Luck part of the tomato forest in my pruning, and, sure enough, mine are potato leafed. I'm amazed I remembered to notice!

this is what tomato is looking like on the one regular leaf plant that is supposed to be bammer's luck

ddsack · July 31, 2020

Oh dear! Unless they flatten out and get rounder as they get bigger, that is not the right shape! But if you end up with bomb shaped beautifully striped original color and good flavor that may be an interesting variant to keep going.
