I've known Cuostralee since 1992 when it was sent to one of us,meaning the 4 folks that Norbert in France contacted,and have grown it a lot since then,for SSE listings and seed offers,and have never seen a PL.

Tania left off Bill Minkey and Joe Bratka from that history and Joe sent all of his to me and the rest of us SSE listed all of them.
I'm not that enthusiastic of getting seeds via swaps/trades You never know the background of the seeds as to possible seed associated disease problems which to me is most important,nor how the plants were grown as to possible cross pollinations.
One exception for me is that if anyone sends me seeds for a previously non distributed family tomato heirloom I give them a choice of getting 2 or 3 back from me as thanks.
