Brandysweet Plum

Anyone have a picture I can use for my database?

Here's a pic, but it doesn't show the subtle colour difference I noticed on the shoulders and the rest of the tomato, plus this one looks a bit round.

PP, it's often hard to get the proper colour shown in piccies. That pic looks orange-reddish, whereas Brandysweet Plum should be an oval (as you note) with rose pink and soft silvery/pale green shoulder coloration. Gorgeous looking oversized cherry. Is that what you got in the flesh, as it were? And how was the taste?

BPlum is a Brandywine x Sweet 100 developed by Ken Allan here in Kingston. PP was one of the first to get seeds from me; I don't know how many others have had a chance to grow it yet, D. That may be why you aren't getting too much feedback.

Picture most appreciated Patrina, thank you!

Jennifer, still not clear on colour - this one is a pink (clear skin) then?

Want to make sure I have it in the right section of my list

Most decidely pink (clear skin), D. Think a lighter version of Eva Purple Ball and you'll get somewhat close.

Definitely an oval Jennifer, but I can't clearly remember the colour at the shoulders.... I just remember thinking how attractive it was

IIRC it was very tasty with a fairly meaty texture - certainly I enjoyed it more than most of the other cherries I grew that year.
