Camo, if you're growing out the RL plants from what's supposed to be Black Brandywine introduced by TGS, what are you going to do about the different shaped fruits you're getting?

Same comment for the PL plants since we know that there are PL plants that aren't giving the large dark beefsteak that the variety was supposed to be.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that knowing that it's not genetically stable and knowing that Linda at TGS deleted it from her catalog and website two years ago b'c of the instability problem, would you then distribute seed from the various non BB's and if so, what would you name them if you did?

The supposed True Black Brandywine is a completely different issue and the parentage is completely different, supposedly, from the TGS Black Brandywine.
