Tomato leaf shape

[thomas.r.silverman]

Hello,

I'm growing a few tomatoes from seed and their leaves are so far rather un-tomato like.

Is this something some varieties do?

P.S The seeds are from a tomato I was given from a farm, not from a packet where I could see any information on this variety.

There are two types of tomato leaves. The regular leaves and yours which is called a potato leaf variety tomato. Almost all are heirloom varieties.

Thanks Chuck!

I'm pretty sure you've helped me on every post I've made on here so far!

In case someone has not said so in 2021, I want to point out that @Chuck is very smart!

Well thank you but I promise that upon review my answers are not as fulsome as those given by The Teachers around here.

There are a number of potato-leaved varieties; one which is quite popular is "Outdoor Girl", which I'm having a go at myself this year.
Another is "Tamina" which I believe is called "Matina" in N.America, and which I found to be very nice.
