Project: Brandywine x Neves Azorean Red
I am working on a really cool cross for a good friend.
Bill Jeffers (PapaVic) asked me for some Neves Azorean Red seeds a couple years ago. I sent them and he grew it out. In the same season, he noticed a really productive Brandywine (from Livingston Seed Co.) and crossed it with Neves to "build a better tomatoer". He mailed me some F1 seeds, so last season, I grew it out (RL) - it produced some great tasting maters (outstanding for being pot bound), and this year in the F2's I have 3 RL's and 2 PL. So we know the cross took. Bunch of other folks got some F2's as well. Should be fun! ~ Tom
