Dwarfs without rugose leaves?

Greatgardens · February 8, 2020

Are there any true dwarfs that do not have rugose leaves? I don't think I've ever seen one. Potato leaf or regular, all dwarfs seem to have the rugose foliage. I know there are compact determinates that have regular leaves, but they don't have the "tree-like" structure, and are just small bush types.

Hardin's Miniature does not have rugose leaves. Being a micro, it has two separate sets of dwarf genes. I used it in a cross with a full-sized indeterminate and was going crazy looking for rugose seedlings in the F2 and beyond. I got some teeny plants all right, but not rugose.
