BrandywineTHE name in tomatoes, the flavor standard by which all other tomatoes are judged. Of all the 'Brandywine' varieties developed over the years only the choicest can carry on the name and legend. The following are my personal picks. No heirloom tomato garden is complete without at least one representative from this noble line.

| C-01 | Brandywines | A simple collection of the choicesset 'Brandies'... Includes OTV, Platfoot Yellow, Sudduth Pink, Black Brandywine and Purple Pear Brandywine, and another surprise from my stash of deep diversity. As of February 4th, I am out of 'Black Brandywine'...

| 1131 | Cherry Brandywine Try Google |
?? I stumbled across mention of this while hunting other varieties and finally tracked it down!!! Very limited description from the seed source, 'small vines, and early production'. Given the Brandywine name, can it be possible we get that remarked flavor AND typical cherry production...Let's see!!! | |
| 1199 | Isis Brandywine Try Google |
A stabilized cross between Yellow Brandywine and Isis Candy (!). Flattened, round fruits (4 to 6 cm), yellow with pink blush on the underside. Very juicy, sweet and fruity when fully ripe; Make sure to let the fruits completely ripen. Otherwise, they might taste rather bland. Around 70 days. Very rare ! | |

Back again for 2010; From heirloom tomato collector Craig LeHoullier - A 2004 Victory Seed Company introduction. Stabilized from an accidental cross between Brandywine and an unknown variety. Potato leaf plants bear beautiful, golden-yellow fruits with a red blossom end blush that radiates up the fruit and into the flesh. Medium size fruits (4-8oz.) round to oval. Complex flavor - juicy, tangy, sweet. 90days. Ind. | |
| 1010 | OTV Brandywine |
85 Ind. Tying with Black Krim in sales for 2009, one of the better ‘Brandywines’ to trying here in Texas. Expect greater, more reliable yields from this variety. This cross originated between Yellow Brandywine and an unknown red. The results are large red fruit of great flavor and balance, born freely from hardy plants. A personal favorite. Compare with Oaxacan Pink and Purdens Purple. | |
| 1012 | Platfoot Strain Yellow Brandywine |
85 Ind. From Ohio; The main improvement to the features of this variety are increased productivity with a smoother, less lobed shape, as compared to Yellow Brandywine. Otherwise, expect the exact same delicious flavor in fruits up to 2 lbs. Tall plants with normally potato shaped foliage. | |
| 1102 | Purden's Purple Try Google |
Sorry, SOLD OUT for 2010; Please consider Violaceum K-R, Watermelon Beefsteak or Mortgage Lifter 75 Ind. Another personal favorite. For over a decade now, this large potato-leafed variety has produced loads of large pound-sized fruit in my gardens. Developed from Brandywine, it has even placed higher in some taste trials. | Sorry, not available this year. |
| 1141 | Purple Pear Brandywine Try Google |
A sport from a ‘Purple Brandywine’ plant. Pink-ish purple fruits are elongated, pear or plum shaped, pleated , some doubles. Thick flesh is deep, dark, purplish-rose and intensely sweet. Low juice, sauce type. Standard leaf. 90 days. Rare | |
| 1011 | Sudduth Pink Brandywine |

Large fruit of up to 1˝ lbs. are borne on old-fashioned potato leafed foliage. Renown for its rich, succulent, and creamy flavor, consistently voted one of the best. Customer Favorite, you grow this one for the legacy. | Sorry, not available this year. |
