I can say that Cowlicks is probably one of the tougher Brandywine strains because it grew and produced here in my garden and even survived TSWV for nearly 2 months while still putting on fruit. This year I have for the first time in 5 attempts gotten fruit set on a Brandywine Sudduth's. Usually it died before fruit set in my garden. I am also growing Brandywine Terhune and OTV. They have both set fruit but the OTV is not looking too good nor has it set more than a couple of toms.
I hope they all survive so I can taste some vine ripened Brandywines of different strains and compare the taste. So far Stump of the World is still on the top of the list for large pink tomatoes.
