Not surprising - the genetic material in the original cross is so diverse that I think there is lots more to find in the F2, F3 and beyond!

Brandywine - large, pink, potato leaf, delicious
Tad - medium small round yellow with red stripes - produced by Tad Smith by crossing Old German (large yellow/red bicolor) with Tigerella (medium small red with gold stripes)

and I am pondering that the heart shape is from pollen in the cross from either Ukranian Heart or Anna Russian -both pink flavorful hearts.

So - the flavor, Lee? I found many of the F2s last year good but not great in flavor.
