What Are ‘Brandywine’ Tomatoes?‘Brandywine’ is an heirloom cultivar hardy to USDA Zones 3 through 9, grown for its large, beefsteak-type fruits that can be red, pink, or yellow in color.
Fruits are ridged with an asymmetrical shape, and can grow to weigh up to two pounds each.
Due to their substantial size and flavorful fruits, they are one of the most popular types of tomatoes for slicing and enjoying on sandwiches.
The plants can also be distinguished by tall vines which can reach up to nine feet in height when trained, as well as by their unique foliage. Leaves are smooth and oval with pointed tips, much like those of a potato plant.
One of the slower maturing tomato cultivars, they take 80 to 100 days to produce fruit.
But these plants have what is known as an indeterminate growth habit, meaning that once they mature, they will continue to bloom and produce fruit as long as conditions are favorable.
