Not related to the Brandywine we all recognize, this variety produces red, thin-skinned fruits which are variable in shape and size throughout the growing season, starting off with some really big ones and then settling to medium-sized fruits the rest of the year. Production is very good, with superior flavor. This is a great all round tomato.
HISTORY: This old commercial variety was introduced by Johnson and Stokes' in 1889. It was named after the Brandywine River which flows through Chadd's Ford, Pennsylvania.
Sold in a 3.5" pot.
