The pinnacle of aesthetic appeal, with tangy profiles, distinctive, sweet, large and juicy pink! True \u003ci\u003eBrandywine\u003c\/i\u003e offers a ripe glow, and intimate sherbet orange onto a red faded candy pink skin, in round, boat, bridge, and triangle shapes. Oh, and the fruits are large by the way. My \u003ci\u003eBrandywines\u003c\/i\u003e are selected from intense environmental conditions in open fields for years, rarely watered, barely supported, only getting fruit from survivors that are interplanted with \u003cem\u003eSudduth's\u003c\/em\u003e and various other \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eseed\u003c\/span\u003e saver’s interpretations. The tree like, thick multi leader branching is what I have been selecting for. Imagine a productive tomato with minimal trellising. You will still need to stake and twine fruit laden branches, but the minimal work that goes into growing the most flavorful famous tomato in North America will be an additional treat for the home gardener. The results from thousands of plants over the years to produce this Victorian tomato are worth mentioning, and growing. Many tomatoes are judged against the \u003cem\u003eBrandywines\u003c\/em\u003e for all the right reasons. Generally, disease resistant, resist cracking, no ‘ugly’ bottoms, and plants grow tall with multiple leaders, and reduced foliage, making pruning optional. Supports are required, as vines laden with heavy fruit topple over when plump. Flavor exceeds expectations, shining in the peak of Summer. \u003ci\u003eBrandywine\u003c\/i\u003e is a pink winner, colorful, respectable, admirable; ideally a savory fruit of impeccable quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-hveid=\"CAIIAAgACAcQAQ\" data-complete=\"true\" data-reader-unique-id=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBrandywine\u003c\/em\u003e emerged sometime after 1876 as a Victorian-era tomato cultivar. Its large, one-pound fruits achieve peak ripeness between 80 and 100 days. While smooth, glossy pink skin is true to the Brandywine line, the types that blush with orange undertones on their shoulders near the stem and base are the real heritage keepers. Early starts and warm summer sun contribute to the resonant flavor, impressive size, noticeable disease resistance, and early fruit clusters that this cultivar is known for. Fruit shapes appear quickly, ranging from large, symmetrical, flat, and round to oblong and triangular shapes!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-hveid=\"CAIIAAgACAcQAQ\" data-complete=\"true\" data-reader-unique-id=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMy \u003cem\u003eBrandywine\u003c\/em\u003e cultivar was selected out of 300 to 1,200 distinct plants from a variety of American seed stores over five years. Honing in on heritage and cultural memory, seed selections came only from fruits matching historical seed catalogue descriptions. First brought to market as early as 1876 as ‘Turner’s Hybrid’ or ‘Mikado’ because of its dominant, distinctive potato-shaped leaf, its history on the heirloom tomato spectrum is shared by Johnson \u0026amp; Stokes, W. Atlee Burpee, and a man named Peter Henderson. By 1889, the Brandywine tomato was sold as a ‘new’ variety by W. Atlee Burpee. This Victorian-era, pink-fruited, potato-leaved tomato was called Brandywine, weaving together potential historical connections to Brandywine Creek in Chester County, Pennsylvania, or the Revolutionary War's Battle of Brandywine. It came to market, disappeared for a time, and reappeared as variant strains in red, black, orange, and yellow, surviving to this day through various seed savers who have maintained its distinctive potato-shaped leaves and pinkish-orange, nearly seedless flesh for over a century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Farmer","offers":[{"title":"30 seeds","offer_id":52832269861080,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60 seeds","offer_id":52832269893848,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 seeds","offer_id":52832269926616,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 seeds","offer_id":52832269959384,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000+","offer_id":52832269992152,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/6563\/1192\/files\/A6771681-1FF0-4561-9C06-901B2F519F05.jpg?v=1793230146","url":"https:\/\/gardenfarmer.store\/products\/brandywine","provider":"Garden Farmer ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
