Neves Azorean Red x Marianna's Peace
I just made this cross, mostly for fun and to, hopefully, get a tasty F1 and maybe eventually a new stable variety
Have anyone tried that cross before? How was the result? Taste, production ect.? If anyone wants F2 seeds to do their own grow-out and selection, maybe I will have seeds to share next fall. /Søren Last edited by DanishGardener; October 6, 2010 at 06:38 PM. |

Vortreker: I actually meant F2 seeds, sorry about that typo. But if you want F1 seeds, I can send you some if the cross takes

That will make an excellent F1 tomato.
NAR inputs strong, erect, shorter than normal indeterminate internodes and superb vine health as well as a deep, unique flavor. The Brandywine genes in Marianna's Peace speak for themselves! I'd love some F1 or F2 seeds from that cross. |

How do we know that? I thought it was an heirloom variety that came straight from now I forget where,, and while it's PL and a large pink how does one equate that with Brandywine genes when there are so many large pink fruited PL varieties with lots of different variety names represented? Just curious.

Nothing to be sorry about Travis. I just thought that maybe you knew something about MP that the rest of us didn't know.

I have grown the cross between Brandywine and Neves Azorean Red for several Seasons, and I love it. In my Top 5. If seeds of this cross are available, I would surely like to participate in a comparison grow vs. the Brandywine version (N.A.R.X.), or as it is also called "Brannar".

A lot of people seems to be interested in this cross - I guess that is a good thing
However, I don't know if any of the crosses I made have been succesful, so I can't promise that I will even have any seeds to share. The initial idea was to grow out a F1 plan or two myself, and then, in fall 2011, share the F2 seeds to whoever wanted to do their own grow out and selections (and hopefully create a new variety).

They are a typical hybrid as in really vigorous growing and i also recon they'll be very productive as well.
