Has anybody grown this cultivar before or one pretty close to it? Checking the seedlings at first I thought these seedlings had got powdery mildew and I was going to pull them til I realized after I put my glasses on that all the white was actually super fuzzy leaves.

I've grown a few tomatoes that had a little bit of hairy leaves, but nothing this extreme. I am wondering will all the leaves be this hairy and maybe stupid question, but does the fruit get hairy too?

With not growing such a hairy plant before, are there any potential problems I need to look out for, or things I should do to keep the plants healthy looking?

Sure are interesting leaves to look at. Amazing the different things tomatoes can show. Always something new to learn and see.

Angora foliage is pretty common when it comes to tomato varieties.
