Very productive, with large oblate fruit.
I just answered him in a PM he sent me and also sent him Tania's page for it,to wit,no one knows if Terhune has any relationship to Brandywine until DNA tests are done. Tom is a good friend,he sent me the seeds,I grew it and I couldn't say it definitely was NOT related to any Brandywine I know as you just did.

As I told him,look in any SSE Yearbook and you'll see various versions of what are supposed to be Pink Brandywine, but aren't. I also told him if he wants to grow a known true Brandyine (pink)to get seeds of the Sudduth/Quisenberry one.
