I was thinking they looked like a rose leaf! For sure, they are different than my other RL's. Anyone else growing CO for comparison? Patty

Carolyn, if you see this, do you think this is like what Jeff meant in not being heavily divided?? I am thinking is must be ok and RL but just a unique RL! Patty

Carolyn, who thinks that you probably have the correct variety based on what Jeff Nekola said and you'll see that when your plants get bigger and for sure when they start setting fruits."

Just an FYI. This is Rhus radicans (Poison Ivy)

Thanks Neil, I knew it was not Poison Ivy. We have so much of it growing in the wild here and I do get a bad reaction from getting near Poison Ivy. Just the shape of the leaf on this tomato seems puzzling.....Patty

Patty,

Here is my Cerise Orange - I thought it would be RL, and I thought the seedling was RL, but now it looks somewhat in between RL and PL -

The leaves are very thin and resemble the Wild Matt's Cherry leaves

Tania, thanks for posting pic..... I would say that mine looks like yours. .....It is one of my tallest tomatoes(not yet in the ground as we still had frost warning last night), it is also blooming. As compared with PL leaves of Kimberly, the Cerise leaf is more narrow in width but still resembles the PL's in shape. Out of 8 trays of tomatoes, it stood out as looking unique to me! Do you remember where your Cerise seed came from? Patty

Tania · May 23, 2006

my seeds are from Peter (=peiwizard) from eastern Canada, who posts here from time to time. I am not sure what his source was.

Mine are from Harry VM.........also in Canada but have lost track since the trade. Ours do seem similar. WOnder if that is what Cerise Orange is always like?? Patty

Cerise Orange has ripe fruit and they are orange....yea! But only about the size of a large blueberry. Is that correct for the variety? THanks, Patty
