I read somewhere that the _true_ Caspian Pink has regular serrated
leaves (not a potato leaf). Mine are potato leaf with some leaves
slightly serrated. So do I have the _true_ Caspian Pink? This is my
first year for the Caspian Pink and the Persimmon. The Caspian has a
better flavor than Brandywine. The Persimmon has a sharper more acidic
flavor. I'll do both again next year. I'm now seeing baseball size
Caspians turning pink, and tennis ball size Persimmons turning yellow.

Gosh I have no idea about the leaves and will look at ours tomorrow and
let you know if ours are different than yours. I also like the Caspians
better than the Brandywines. My DH finally planted Mortgage Lifter at
my request and I'm so anxious to see how they taste. The other day at
the grocery, they had these really dark, almost blackish heirloom
tomatoes--- German something. They were gorgeous but, of course, I did
not buy any since we have our own tomatoes. I'll recommend Persimmon to
my DH.
