Brandywine from Croatia RL

amideutch · October 20, 2013

Seed from Bill Jeffers who spoke highly of the RL version and now I see why. It is a long season variety and has good disease resistance and production with excellent taste. I grew it in the same bed as Dester and found the flavor to be better with the BFC-RL. Here are a few pictures of the fruit and the 4th shot is from a fruit I did not take as a whole just cut in half.

Glad you are enjoying the BfC variety! Your photos look great.

Am growing both Dester and BW from Croatia in my winter garden and looking forward to
trying both.

Ami that tomato looks good, how much is the average weight?

I received seed of BFC last year from Raybo. It was my favorite tomato last season. The fruits weighed about a pound each. A large healthy plant that for me produced later in the season. I will be sending seeds for this to the swap this year just as I sent seed for it to Heather's swap last season. This plant reminds me a lot of Terhune.

I received this tomato from Raybo and I think I met him at Basil in Berkeley, anyway what a joy it was raising that Croatian brandywine. It never stopped giving, thanks Raybo.

Raybo has given us a GREAT tomato! I do hope that more people will try to grow this one.
Once again, I have sent seeds out to this years tomato seed swap. It is a robust plant that requires staking. Very well-balanced flavor. Perfect for sandwiches.
