Carolyn,

You are right, "time will tell" and for now Blue Andes will be the "working title" for this variety.

The plant grown in 2006 resembled the parent plant of 2005, so I will keep an eye on it for about four more generations and see what comes up.

As far as "Mr. Mango/Mr. Potato Leaf" is concerned (this is the plant from the stray seed I found in an Amishland Heirloom Seeds mailing envelope): apparently this one is still in the process of segregating. When I grew it out last year (two plants) I had two different types of fruit from it: round and bland, and flat and flavorful. The second type was the same as the fruit from the parent plant, so I saved seed from that.
