My father is leaving for Italy in about two weeks, and my uncle asked if he could bring some seeds with him. He specifically asked for yellows but is open to anything. He lives in a small town in the hills and the local nurseries don't really have much. They are not exactly...open minded about varieties from outside the area, but my uncle is and loves trying new stuff (after much encouraging, he planted a mango tree a few years back and absolutely loves them!). I'm wondering how the following would do:
Yellow Brandywine Platfoot Lillian's Yellow Dr. Wyche Limmony I've grown YBWPF and Dr. Wyche here in western CT and enjoy them both. I've read that some varieties of BW can be stingy in warmer climates. It's very similar to southern coastal CA. They can start putting tomatoes in the ground in March and they do multiple plantings. |

My Isabell's Golden Colossal, Manyel, & Yellow Stuffer did O.K. But, my Chuck's Yellow took the Prize in direct Sun 2023. I could not stop myself from eating them. I even eat them on a sandwich with my eyes closed, Amen!
I hope you find some good ones for your Uncle.
