For the most part, most heirloom tomato leaves look very much alike. So, when starting out as seedlings it's very difficult to tell them apart. However, there are a few small visual cues that can help. First is the leaf shape. They are a kind of "potato leaf" design. I found that the Black Krim and Black Plum are nearly identical. The Russian Oxheart is also of the same design, but the leaves are a little more rounded and with more fringing, or spikes. The Black Krim tends to have larger and slightly irregular shapes. The Sara's Galapagos were a cinch to tell apart. This plant looks astonishingly different from the others.
