I know that Brandywine tomatoes have "potato" leaves (broad rather
than divided). Do any other types of tomatoes have this kind of
leaf?


Snip

Other types of tomatoes have potato leaves. Stupice is one.

I *think* Aunt Ruby's Green has regular leaves, but don't bet the mortgage money
on it.


Several types of heirloom tomatoes have potato leaves. I would have to
walk 5 blocks to my plot to tell you which of mine do and it's 2am, so
that won't be happening; but chances are very good that yours is
labeled correctly.

I did a quick google search of "Aunt Ruby's Green", none of the sights
I looked at specified its leaf type but all claimed that it was a
delicious tomato(!)

My "lame" logic: It is considered a beefsteak as is Brandywine so
maybe they have have similar leaf types. Please don't flame me!
