Any other tomato varieties that taste like Brandywine OTV?

Closest to Sudduth Brandy according to my taste buds is Pruden's Purple.

Ami,

You have very nice tomato plants. I am very impressed that you have been able to grow them organically in very small pots. What organic fertilizers do you use, how much, and how often?

That's a hard one to answer, because each variety takes pretty specific to different individuals. OTV BW is one of those large fruited dense fleshed types with a nice balance of flavor and small seed locules spread throughout the slice, which gives it that meaty but juicy, tender texture. I find that texture in a few similarly large fruited, tall growing varieties, such as Brandywine, Lucky Cross, Polish, Wins All, Stump of the World - and all of the Cherokees (Green, Purple, Chocolate). You may want to try Cherokee Purple, which tends to stay a bit shorter and have fruiting clusters closer together. And, as suggested, New big Dwarf gives the flavor and texture of OTV, but in a nice compact growing form.
