Notes
'Brandywine' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Brandywine') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is an heirloom type with an indeterminate habit, so the vines keep growing and can reach 72 inches tall. Bees visit the flowers, so give the plant a stake or cage for support.
Pairs well with Scarlet runner, Cilantro, and Asparagus.
