Description
'Brandywine' tomatoes have been a gardener’s favorite for over a century, known for their rich flavor and large, 10-30 oz. fruits. This red and yellow blend includes both the classic 'Red Brandywine,' which ripens to a rich pinkish-red, and the 'Yellow Brandywine,' which turns a golden yellow. Both varieties feature a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, ideal for slicing. Vines can reach 6' or longer, and these indeterminate tomatoes mature in 76–100 days, providing a robust, flavorful harvest. The red seeds are stained with organic coloring to differentiate them from the yellow tomato seeds, ensuring a vibrant and diverse tomato crop.
