Brandymaster
Now that the season is playing out I'm interested in a few varieties I'm not familiar with, but have been hearing a good bit. I mentioned Big Daddy and Dixie Red in another thread and now I'm interested to get your feedback on Brandymaster.
The ad says it is a potato leaf indeterminate that is a new version of the old classic Brandywine, producing medium to large fruits, weighing up to a pound. Is it a good producer, and does it live up to its billing? Here is a link that tells more about it. If it is as good as they say, I certainly need to consider it for next year. https://www.totallytomato.com/P/0060...+Hybrid+Tomato Thanks! DS

Those are my questions,but I suppose to most it's a matter of how it tastes. Lastly,I can go back and check, but won't,if an F1 hybrid which tolerances were bred into it for various diseases.I don't think I saw that but may have missed it,if so, I apologize. Carolyn

https://www.houzz.com/discussions/22...-brandymasters I couldn't stop laughing when I read this since I personally know many who were posting,some of them used to post here at TV and I'm still in very close touch with one of them since he breeds some wonderful tomato varieties.And some of his were listed in a recent seed offer of mine here at TV. He goes by Hoosier Cherokee (user name) in the above. His real name is Bill Jeffers. Be SURE to read Bill's comments. He knows more than most about tomato genetics than many I know although there are a couple of others who are commercial who know a lot and one who is NOT commercial knows the most IMO and yes he has a website,a superb one, but sells no seeds,strictly informational. Carolyn I know this will help. Carolyn
