Default Same plants, different leaves

What kind of leaves have you been smoking? You are speaking nonsense again.

Commercial tomatoes are complex hybrids selected for certain fruit
characteristics. Different strains grown from seeds can have different
looking leaves but you don't find different leaves on the same plant.

********************

There are some species that have different leaf shapes as they progress from
juvenille to adult phases but tomatoes aren't one of them, dude.

The "False Aralia" (Dizygotheca elegantissima) is one species that goes
through a dramatic change in leaf shape as the trees mature. The juvenille
form looks very much like the plant you are smoking.

I read a post where someone was venting about mis-labeling plants, that

they
found several plants with the same name but as the post read, "Never mind

that
several of them had different leaf shapes
and other differences were obvious."
I have found in tomato catalogues descriptions for a particular tomato

plant.
The usual "meaty, good taste," etc. were mentioned, and also it stated

that the
seeds can be ordered to grow the tomato with either the tomato style leaf

or
the potatoe style leaf. Same plant, different leaves.
