If I get a wrong leaf form I never know what that means as to what the final fruits will be like, so if I have the room, and sometimes I don't, then I'll grow them out to see what's up.

And sometimes, as we all know, even the correct leaf forms of seedlings turn out to be not this or not that, so even without having to think about whether or not I had the room in any given season, I got a few of those.

Had you planned to inform the two seed sources of the errors? it might be useful for them to know so they don't sell anymore of that seed batch to others.
