What is the production of Cowlick's like (approx. number of fruit per plant)?

[Wi-sunflower]

I had a rather off year for my tomatoes so I really couldn't tell you if the Cowlicks did well or not. I didn't get as much fruit for seeds off many of my varieties this year. Not like last year anyway.

Cowilcks like most toms depend on how they are grown and what kind of weather we have that year. having said that. Camo Chef Has the most and best info on COWLICKS. Last year I had 4 plants ave. 23 toms . Biggest-14 oz ave.10oz.Healthy. I planted for a fall crop. in atlanta that about june 15th. I think they do better if planted at your earliest date. I hope Camo or Ami will respond to your Question. Good Luck Bill

Okay! Thanks! That is quite a list of seeds you have available for sale.

Cowlicks did very well here, I would say the most productive Brandywine type I've grown.

Thanks Bama mater! We have quite a bit of heat and humidity here, so it is good to know Cowlick's is productive in that environment.

I've grown Cowlick Brandywine for quite a few years now. Also sent seed all over the world for them and most reports back have been more than favorable.
The first year I grew them they produced the first ripe tomatoes on June 27th and continued till Oct 31. It was an exceptional year here for tomatoes and late frosts. I'm certain that plant produced well over 100 lbs of large oblate shaped tomatoes. Much more than any other Brandywine I had growing including the Red Brandywine that also produced large numbers.
This year was the worst for my Cowlick's ever. Usually they out-produce all others. This year Brandywine Glicks, and Brandywine Sudduths were much better for the first time ever. As was Brandywine Stumps. I also planted much much later this year than I ever have before.
I did plant one (rare) Cowlick's Brandywine-R.L. this year that did much better both in taste and production. This came from another grower that had 1 regular leaf plant grow with his normally P.L. Cowlick's. But that's a whole different story.
This was also the first year I grew out a Dana's Dusky Rose/Cowlick Brandywine cross that was quite successful. Will see what it does this coming year.
Due to a major catastrophe with a stray dog, I have no seeds to share with anyone this year. (I actually had to beg for some seeds from others just to be able to put out a much reduced sized garden this coming season.) The old "dog ate my homework" excuse!
I can report that Cowlick's have done well from Ma, N.Y., N.J., Pa., Oh.,Va., W.Va., Ky., Tenn., N.C., Fla., Ga., Miss., Tex., Ks., Colo., Calif., Wash., Minn., Mi., Wisc., as well as Germany, France, England, Sweden, Poland, Denmark, South Africa, Down Under, and probably a few others which I've forgotten. Many that claimed Brandywines never did well for them have been delighted with the increased production they found and no-one has ever complained about the taste yet!
Good Luck and Happy Gardening!

Hey, Camo. I grew Cowlicks and BW Sudduth's side by side this past year and it really was a no-contest. Cowlicks out-produced BWS three to one and averaged in size around 12 oz. And the taste of Cowlicks was slightly sweeter (IMHO). But, they were literally no more than 3.5 feet from each other. I will be trying them side by side again this coming year in another part of my garden.

Tough to hear you had a down year. Let me know if I might have something you need.

Ted,
I almost started: Another vote from GA., I hadn't realized you moved.
I have to be honest, this year my Cowlick's fell behind Brandywine-Glick's and Brandywine-Sudduth's for the first time. I attribute it to a very late start. (didn't start seeds till 16 April and 20 April), and began transplanting into gardens May 25-May 29 and finished all planting on June 2. This was months later than other years.
I appreciate the offer, but this is a year to allow my normal garden areas to rest. I'm planning on planting only two rows for a total of 26 tomato plants this year, where I used to have the satellite gardens a few years back. I need more time in the kitchen (and air-conditioning) than in the hot gardens. I have all my seed accounted for to plant those and I'm trying to avoid further temptations .
Have a great season ahead and may your Cowlick's do even better this year!
