Default Livingston's Oxheart (Pink)?

Has anyone grown this pink variety? If so, how does it compare to other large pink varieties -- plant size, taste, appearance? Core?

BTW, I've noticed that many of the pink varieties are potato leaf. From casual observation, there seem to be far more PL pinks than reds. Just curious -- can anyone think of a PL heart variety?

Had never heard of Heshpole. And yes, the True North varieties. That must have been a breeding/selection objective.

Great gardens asked about Livingstons Heart.

Yes, I have grown it and here it is.

It is not Heshpole.
