LQBerry - another hearty thanks for checking in! A description of Brandywine that I read in a book (Totally Tomatoes by Fred DuBose) in the mid 80s was essentially responsible for the heirloom tomato journey that I've been on.

Just for info - both Big Ben and Stump of the World have been growing out as potato leaf right from the time that they entered the SSE collection in the late 1970s/early 1980s. So there is clearly some work to do on cleaning up the information around some of Mr. Q's varieties.
