a question on brandywine sudduth's strain

tjg911 · August 22, 2012

this is the 1st year that i know for a fact i grew sudduth's strain. i have grown bw at least 1 maybe 2 other seasons many years ago but though yields were atrociously low, i wasn't all that impressed and never bothered to grow it again.

they taste fantastic, there is no denying that, and the yield so far has been good imo. i've picked at least 12, mostly quite large but see just 3 small green fruits on the plant now.

my question is does sudduth's tend to ripen all the fruits over a 10-14 day time period because mine did. i assume this is an indeterminate but i found it odd that 95% of the tomatoes ripened in such a short time span.
