I realize I'm late to this thread, but I'm a new member here.

I have a question about the Black Brandywine that is in more widespread availability than this TBB. Is BB supposed to be RL or PL ??

I ask because when I first grew a BB (about 5 or so years ago) it was a PL. At that time I think, but am not sure, I got the seed from Totally Tomatoes.

A year later I got some BB seed from Meyers seed and it was a RL. Last year when I ordered more BB from TT the seed produced a RL.

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to save seeds from the PL BB that I had originally gotten.

I didn't know about the history of BB being from Seeds by Design and just assumed that since original Brandywine and Yellow Brandywine were PL that anything else with Brandywine in the name should be a PL.
