Brandywine Tomato
The Brandywine might be considered the poster child of heirloom tomatoes. An old time favorite dating back to 1885, the Brandywine has superb flavor and a beautiful red to pink skin. Fruits are large and can grow up to 2 pounds. Brandywines are excellent for fresh eating or also good for canning, due to their easy to peel skin and low seed content. Enjoy this historic beauty!
True Black Brandywine Tomato
The True Black Brandywine was bred sometime in the 1920’s by dentist turned plant breeder Dr. Martin. He did not share his seeds often, so we are lucky we have these tomatoes today. They are a cross between the Brandywine and the original brown Beefsteak tomato, which is most likely extinct now. The True Black Brandywine is extra large in size and has a deep earthy sweet flavor that black tomatoes are known for. Excellent for cooking, salsa, and slicing!
