KBX leaf shape

TZ-OH6 · April 29, 2009

I received KBX in a seed offer (or trade, I'd have to check source) and they are all comming up fat regular leaf (mitten shaped). I don't recall normal KB leaves looking like that (or anything else for that matter). Does true KBX have standard potatoleaves (tear drop shaped first true leaves, lacking leaflets)

There were true PL leaf for me, I have a calendar my wife made for me and this month happens to show the seedlings and I can make out the KBX tag and see the leaf shape perfectly.

KBX is potato leaf, though Kellogg's Breakfast is regular leaf.

My four KBX are about 6 inches and all PL.

TZ-OH6, please let the individual you got the seeds from know so he can take action to rectify the problem. He could very well have sent you KB RL by mistake. KBX is a stable variety and mine have always been PL. Ami

I thought certain "versions" of PL's have "thumbs" > no ?

Actually a pic would be most helpful

Yes, Tom, there certainly are some PL leaves for some known PL varieties that do have "thumbs".

Next time someone grows RL Kellogg's Breakfast take a close look at the leaves, especially those that appear earliest on the plant.

Folks,

I have some pics of KBX leaves at http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/KBX

My KBX seeds were from 2 different sources and had identical foliage and fruit.
