Winsall is regular leaf. It was developed as an improvement for Ponderosa (also regular leaf) and was released by Henderson in 1924. The only large pink potato leaf available from seed companies back then was Turner's Hybrid/Mikado (same tomato known by different names depending upon the company).

Ted, the information at DG about Winsall is not correct; it's RL.

With such a large database and so many different folks entering info there are bound to be errors and there are errors for entries there.

I'll tell someone about it and see if I can at least get that errror fixed.

I really like Winsall very much - a fine large pink, better flavor than German Johnson and seems more disease tolerant - it is large, meaty, and on the sweet side.

Thanks, Craig. You and I posted simultaneously above. My database is now "more" correct.

My Winsall seeds bought from Totally Tomatoes in 2007 were Potato Leaf, although the correct form is Regular Leaf. Last year I got some RL Winsall and planted them side by side with the PL Winsall. The fruit were identical.
