* Craig LeHoullier identified Green Giant … * Craig LeHoullier identified Green Giant as an unusual variety while perusing [http://www.reinhard-kraft.de/ Reinhard Kraft's tomato database web site], in that it is the first known potato leaf, green fruited variety. Reinhard indicates that he selected Green Giant as an unexpected potato leaf seedling in a regular leaf Green variety (name unknown, but he indicated he thought it was from Canada). Upon request, Reinhard shared seeds with Craig in 2004. Craig obtained a mix of potato leaf (predominant) and regular leaf seedlings, and grew out a potato leaf plant which matched the picture on the web site. It was the best tasting tomato of Craig's garden that year, and it was clear that this would become a popular variety once it made its way into commerce. Craig shared the seeds with others, and it found its way into the SSE yearbook and seed catalogs. y into the SSE yearbook and seed catalogs.
