OK, i need three suggestions for red or pink larger tomatoes for some mater sandwiches. Any suggestions? Was looking a brandywine sudduth

Cole_Robbie · September 8, 2016

I have what I believe to be Brandywine Sudduth, and it is the best-yielding Brandywine I have tried. I also had a gentleman give me a tomato at market this year that was his own family heirloom. He took the original seeds from a tomato served at a Lincoln festival upstate somewhere, twenty years ago. It looks like a Brandywine. I'm going to try it next year.

My best reds of the year this year were Mat-Su Express, Cosmonaut Volkov, and Bradley, which is technically pink, but looks and tastes red to me.

Cosmonaut Volkov, Chapman, Zamorano for the red, Faworyt, Odoriko, Nicky Crain for the pink

Cowlick's Brandywine has done really well for me this summer, still setting fruit like a champ.

I can recommend Brandy Boy (F1) . I will re grow it along with BW Sudduth next season.
Have heard rave review on George Detsikas Italian Red too.

Ive grown Esterina F1 for three years now, and it appears to be an exceptionally reliable high producer of superb-tasting tomatoes. It does do better in my high tunnel than outdoors, but then, most tomatoes do. I get my seeds from High Mowing :

Though I see that Territorial and Johnny's are carrying it now, too.

For beefsteaks I highly recommend
Gregori's Altai ( large pink, sweet, yet more complex than just sweet)
Rose de Berne ( baseball size, uniform, deep pink, productive, great taste not too acidic)
Aunt Ginny's Purple ( not really purple but deep pink, old fashioned taste)
Cherokee Purple is a true purple an a perennial winner in taste and production. Complex flavor, neither sweet nor very acidic. Hard to describe but it's in my garden every year.
