I'm growing your Stupice this year, Veggie, when I finally make my mind up on the grow list. It won't get isolated, so I won't bother saving.

I don't know whether, if a potato leaf crosses with a regular leaf tom, seeds from both toms will not be true - I can't find an answer on t'internet.
Does anyone know please?

I did the same research a year or 2 back and couldn't find a definitive answer either. My personal thoughts are as a normal tomato flower self pollinates before opening then I don't see how the potato leaf flower can affect it. On the other hand I think maybe a normal tomato could pollinate a potato leaf, but I'm just guessing.

Have you got Cyril’s Choice seeds Mamzie?

I tried growing them a couple of years ago but, mine never came up. That’s one Tom I’d cross a hill to get my hands on. Big Grin

I haven't got a clue really. 

Though my thinking is that regular Tom's rarely cross - has both make and female "bits" contained within the flower. Self pollination occurs before stray pollen can get to it??
On the potato leaf the flower protrudes more than regular leaf Tom's so will cross more readily. Easier fir insects etc to get to?

Though iIf you grew in a group and choose to save from a tomato out of the middle to the back of the glass etc there would be less likelyhood of a cross. ?

I ran a seed swap once Wink someone saved Ruby - that had crossed so it can happen. The fruit seemed to be the same ( from memory) just the potato leaf had disappeared.
