I think I have a Zogola Imposter

platys · July 15, 2010

I have two Zogola plants. They were bought from the same vendor, but thanks to a shipping mix up, I recieved the second one about three weeks after the first.

The first Zogola plant has fruit that looks like this:

All of the fruit on that plant (its regular leaf) is heart shaped. Even the newly set fruit. They all have an extreme point and are very shiny. They also aren't growing particularly large.

However, all the fruit on the other plant are shaped like beefsteaks. That plant is also regular leaf.

So, now I have a surprise. The only heart shape plants the vendor had this year were Anna Russian and Homer Fike's Yellow Oxheart. The foliage is not the least bit wispy, so I don't think its Anna Russian.

I didn't buy any heart shaped, so I don't think its me mixing up the tags.

Anyone want to take a guess?

Actually, I took another look at the plant, and it may be potato leafed. At least, its not nearly as regular tomato leaf looking as some of my other regular leaf plants.

No idea....I did a search on Tatiana's and it came up with a LOT of PL heart shaped fruit varieties.

I'll have to wait and see what color they end up being.

Then it'll be narrowed down to like a million. Hah.

Zogola is RL.

Homer Fikes Yellow Oxheart is RL

Anna Russian is RL

Which plant/variety are you suggsting may be PL?

I was thinking my Zogola Imposter was Potato Leaf, but I can't tell.

Here's some pics of my Zogola imposter - I'm guessing its Homer Fikes Yellow, based on the fruit color.

leaves:

I can't tell if those are RL or PL - they do have some edge serrations, so that would make them RL?

Here's the fruit:

My Zogola Imposter turns out to be Red, with an orange under tone. I haven't tried it yet, though. I won't be saving seeds, since my containers are way too close together.
