Bradley Surprise

AlittleSalt · January 30, 2017

The pictures says it all, but for the guests who cannot see the pictures. One Bradly plant is RL and the other is PL. I looked up the parentage and nowhere does it say anything about PL. http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Bradley

If nothing else, it'll be interesting watching them grow out.

I've always considered Bradley to be the pink companion to the red Rutgers. Folks around here use it as a canning tomato the same as they use Rutgers. I grew Bradley both in Georgia and up here in Tennessee. I got my original seed from Cooper Co-op in Lawrenceville, GA. I'm told that it is no longer open.

The tomato I got was a regular leaf medium size plant with lovely light-pink fruit that were consistently in the 8-10 oz category. I'm going to post this and then see if I can find a picture. If I do, I'll post it here.

I suspect a stray seed of the pl., Bet it's not Bradley.

What was in the seed starter next to Bradley?

OP Brandy Boy (F-11) I'm kind of thinking the same thing.

Before reading your post, looking at the picture I immediately thought of Brandy Boy. I remember it had the biggest leaves that I have ever seen on any PL.
I second : Stray seed , Brandy Boy.
