Cowlick's Pink Brandywine is for Real

[amideutch]

Cowlick's is a Pink Brandywine PL, Indeterminate found by Mike Henry at a nursery called Cowlick's, hence it's name. Mike posts at several forums under the name of Camo. Here is the history of Cowlick's as told by Camo at GW.

Queuetue,
i just stumbled onto this thread. I'm the one responsible for naming "Cowlick's Brandywine". I bought it as a plant from a local Nursury, a few years back. It was labeled simply Brandywine or Pink Brandywine. I had others from maybe a half dozen nursuries that year. This one outperformed them all. It produced more tomatoes, ripened earlier, produced much longer, tasted much better, and on a whole they were larger and prettier.
I kept the seeds separate and assumed it must have been the legendary Sudduth's strain! I also ordered seeds for every type of brandywine I could find from many different sources. Even though it was late in the year I planted one or two of each and grew them out. They all produced except the Yellow Brandywine and the Brandywine OTV. None of them were anything like the Cowlick's.
Meanwhile as the next season began, I was able to get in touch with the owner of the nursury from which I had purchased the "WONDERFUL PLANT" He had no idea what strain it was. He had bought seed from a local company and grew about a dozen of three different varieties. I just kept the name of his nursury so I could tell the difference.
The following year I went on a Brandywine crusade. I bought every imaginable type of Brandywine from every imaginable source. I grew them all. Sudduths Strain, Glicks, Stumps, Pink Brandywines, Black Brandywines, Purple Brandywines, Yellow Brandywines, Plattsfoot strain, OTV, Nothing compared.
Again it was the first to produce ripe tomatoes, they were larger, tastier, and produced longer and much more than any other Brandywine. I had twenty plants of Cowlicks out this year, so I had enough seed to send them all over the U.S. and to Canada and even to the Phillipines and Europe. I even sent some members of other tomato forums enough for them to do their entire gardening clubs. I gave bags full to local nursuries. After this season, they should be available just about everywhere if others have anywhere near the success I've had with them.
I have very few left now as I gave away almost all I had from a couple years, I still have some but I also have a few more SASE 's coming yet. I'd say to PM at a different forum, but I've already gotten grief on here for doing that in the past. So if you can figure out a way to to PM me elsewhere, please do!

I got my seeds for Cowlick's from elkwc 36 and planted the seedling in a 10gal SmartPot. The plant was grown in my greenhouse and it got so big I couldn't get it out the door after the weather had settled. Anyway the support system I put up tipped over due to the weight and number of fruit that developed on the plant. I have yet to have a brandywine produce so many fruits on a single plant. This is the first flush if you will as I have picked a few earlier fruits last month. Theirs still 15-20 fruits on the plant at different stages of growth. The 3 yellow/orange fruits are Mahlor Roth's Orange. Cowlick's taste is right up there with Sudduth and it's all meat with no core. So here are the pictures in different lighting conditions along with the Mahlor Roth's. Ami
