Yellow Brandywine Tomato, Heirloom Seeds

Brandywine Tomato, Heirloom Seeds — The Gold Standard of Heirloom Tomatoes

Brandywine (Lycopersicon lycopersicum) is the tomato by which all other heirlooms are measured — a large, yellow-orange beefsteak with potato leaf foliage and a rich, complex, perfectly balanced flavor that has made it the most celebrated heirloom tomato in the world. Fruits typically weigh 1–2 lbs with meaty, almost seedless flesh and a deep, sweet, wine-like flavor. Indeterminate. 80–90 days.

Why Grow Brandywine?

• The gold standard of heirloom tomatoes — the most celebrated variety in the world
• 1–2 lb pink-red beefsteak — meaty, almost seedless, potato leaf foliage
• Rich, complex, perfectly balanced flavor — deep, sweet, wine-like
• Indeterminate — continuous harvest all season
• Open-pollinated heirloom — save seed year after year

Growing Notes

Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost. Transplant outdoors after frost danger has passed, spacing plants 24–36 inches apart in full sun. Stake or cage well — heavy fruits on tall vines. Water consistently and deeply. Harvest when fruits are fully pink-red and give slightly to pressure. 80–90 days from transplant.
