True Black Brandywine Tomato

In late Summer/early Fall of 2018, we transplanted 1 or 2 True Black Brandywine that we started from seed. We started too late so didn't think we'd have anything to show for it as the Fall and Winter here in SoCal has been unusually rainy (but, very thankful as it's been overdue!). I kept an eye on it for the last few months as it struggled with more rain than usual and not enough sun then we finally had one tomato!! Because it was getting a bit heavy and soft, I nervously decided to pick it. It was just the right time before it got too ripe. We sliced it open to see all the beautiful dark red color, seeds and tried a slice. DELICIOUS!!! This is the first time I've ever tasted a tomato that really tasted like a tomato but with a rich, earthy flavor and very slightly sweet but so appropriate. It was unbelievably yummy! We'll be seed starting/planting earlier this year and will post results. If you're thinking about getting it-go for it! Your taste buds will be pleased!

It says it all in the description! Very tough plant, easy to grow and a great recomendation for any beginning or experienced gardener. Not a lot of care invlved but if you want the best this plant can offer I suggest keeping a close eye and setting up a guide for its growth. I used Neem oil starting early when it was a foot tall and just spray once every week. Great meaty tomato with a wonderful taste. I almost treat these like a delicacy, I serve it by chopping it into bitesize peices, drizzling olive oil over the top and sprinkling some salt flakes. My guest love them! One of the best out there!

This has been one of the best tomato's for a BLT, right behind the German Pink. Good size, hearty plants, transplanted well and had good germination. Going to be a regular feature in our gardens.

this is the first time i grew these tomatoes and everybody says its the best tomato they ever ate. it's sweet and juicy.

Sturdy plants produce very large fruit, with solid, dense flesh. Will produce a good amount of fruit that seems early for large heirlooms and will continue until frost. I did not have any disease problems. Strong staking is needed. The fruit can over heat in direct afternoon sun. They do not seem to crack or split even when over 1.5 lbs. Keep evenly moist for biggest fruit. We love the true big tomato taste, they are our favorite tomato for home made Bruschetta
