This is by far the best known of all beefsteak heirloom tomatoes. Dark pink beefsteaks with mild old-fashioned flavor are set one or two per cluster averaging between 3/4 to 1 pound fruits.

Please note that Brandywine is a long season variety that does not produce exceedingly well in Michigan due to our shorter season. I would suggest taking a look at Rose de Bern which does exceedingly well in Michigan, and is known as the Brandywine of Europe.

 


HISTORY:  It is believed that the Brandywine is an Amish heirloom variety from the USA dating back to 1885. I purchased my seed from a man who lives in Pittsburg, PA. He stated that he received his original seed from a friend 37 years ago and has been saving its seed ever since. In 2012, I trialed five different strains of Brandywine side-by-side, searching for the best. The one I offer here was superior in all ways to the others.

 

Sold in a 3.5" pot.
