I've read a lot of positive posts on Stump of the World. I've got some started myself.

By far keep Stump of the World. Here in our humid Florida winter, it's been a real workhorse so far this season. 33 tomatoes and counting. All under a pound. Taste is excellent and juicy. A good keeper for sure.

Haven't had a garden without Indian Stripe in a long time, and now always grow the PL version. I am very fond of Brandywine Cowlicks and Stump of the World. I have read such good things about Daniel Burson. I grew it last year and planted it in the community garden plot I rented. It was beautiful one day, then the next time I went, it along with all the tomato plants i had were dead. No one seemed to be aware of the fact that the community garden was surrounded by black walnut trees. I will definitely give it another go this season.

Gerardo · January 1, 2016

Great responses, much appreciated.

I was leaning towards these two so might as well pull the trigger.

Stump of the World, slot 1.

Indian Stripe, slot 2

1 vote for JD's SCTex (ty Worth)
1 vote for Cowlicks (ty Nancy)

Please keep 'em coming on this first day of the year.

PS ty Labradors, gardenboy & Salt!

Aunt Ginny's Purple
Bear Creek
Brandywine Sudduth
Brandywine Cowlick's
Daniel Burson
Indian Stripe PL
JD's Special C-Tex
Margaret Curtain
Stump of the World

All pretty darn good but I'd go with

Indian Stripe, either RL or PL, your choice, you chose PL

Daniel Burson

Brandywine ( Sudduth/Quisenberry)

Stump of the World and noting that this one was also from Ben Quisenberry

We had a real treat several years ago when Ben's nephew appeared here at Tville, he called him Papa Berry and many of us asked him questions about his varieties and about Ben himself, who is a legend in the tomato world.

The thread for that is in the Legacy Forum.

Gerardo · January 1, 2016

I read that thread, and it won't keep me from going through it again!

It prompted me to choose it among the tons of great varieties in ContainerTed's october seed offer.

I'm definitely leaning towards it.

Thanks Carolyn! I think I bumped into that thread a few months ago.

Brandywine is a great tomato but it is well known that it performs poorly in warm climates. I am here in Wisconsin and Cowlicks did the best for me. For you, I would say, pass on them both for this season.

Daniel Burson and Stump of the World are both well above average for me in this climate. I would grow both of them any time. I have Daniel Burson on my MUST GROW LIST for every year. It is not a tomato that has been available for long at all, but for the few of us that have grown it, it has been a HUGE success. Stump of the World was not on my grow list last year and was sorely missed. I will put in on my MUST GROW LIST.

Indian Stripe PL and JD's Special C-Tex are both great choices for your area as well as being very good tomatos.

Margaret Curtain and Stump of the World

Bear Creek

Daniel Burson

JD's Special C-Tex

Stump of the World

(Indian Stripe would be at the top of the list, if it were true to type rather than the PL.)

This is key...our weather is very similar. I loved my Brandywine Cowlick's last season (1st time planting). Stump has done well...and will be back for me too.
