Red Brandywine, Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Red Brandywine, Heirloom Tomato Seeds — The Amish Classic in Deep, Brilliant Red

First introduced in 1885 by Amish farmers in Chester County, Pennsylvania, Brandywine is the heirloom tomato that set the standard for flavor — and the Red Brandywine is its most visually striking expression. Large vines produce 8 oz to 1 lb fruits in a deep, brilliant red with the same rich, complex, old-fashioned flavor that has made the Brandywine family the benchmark for serious tomato growers for over 140 years. Very productive and deeply satisfying, Red Brandywine is the tomato that reminds you why heirlooms matter.

Indeterminate, mid-season, 80 days. A variety with genuine American heritage and extraordinary flavor.
