Sometimes, new varieties just stand out from all the others as is the case with Brownies that I grew out in 2017. Literally, hundreds upon hundreds of perfect golf-ball sized brown fruits which are borne on long trusses.
Excellent, well-balanced, flavor - not too sweet and not too acid. Just a beautiful plant, with no disease issues and seemingly drought resistant!
HISTORY: I purchased this variety from Bill Minkey of Darrien, Wisconsin via Seed Savers Exchange. He indicates that his seed source was the late Gary Millwood, KY. The first mention of this variety that I can find is 2009.
Sold in a 3.5" pot.
