Mark- yes, I'm growing out 6 of your 5.42lb seeds right now, and I recall you told me they were RL. The seed pack from Marianna's last year was labeled "Competition Terhune" and all 5 of them were PL. So perhaps she has both leaf types in her collection. Thanks again for sending me that seed!!
After growing out Brandywine, Sudduth strain for many years and next to a PL Terhune plant, there is no doubt to me that they aren't the same plant. Could they be related?, of course! The Terhune fruit is larger and more symmetric compared to the Brandywine in my estimation, which tend to produce a lot of boat-shaped doubles in my gardens.
Terhune is a fantastic cultivar, in my opinion!!
