Beef Tomato Black Brandywine

Black Brandywine is a tall, beefsteak tomato prized for its good taste and appearance. The variety produces large, flat, round tomatoes in shades of mahogany red with a dark green top. The fruits have a juicy, firm flesh with a well-balanced flavor that makes them perfect for eating straight from the plant, or for use in salads, sandwiches, and cooking.

This variety thrives best in greenhouses where it can grow in a protected position. The plants grow strong and tall, and to get good results it is important to tie them up and regularly remove unwanted shoots. The tomato seeds are grown in Sweden and come from Gisela at Gisslagården outside Falköping. They also have very good germination, at least 92%.
