I was going to comment on the PL Black Brandywine after I got done with my plant outs, but as this thread was just revived I guess now is OK too.
Unfortunately the PL BBW seeds Carolyn sent me were probably a victim of the post office issues discussed elsewhere here. I only got 1 seedling. At the moment it's somewhere in a mass of seedlings in my greenhouse so I can't tell if it's actually PL or not until I find it again.
At the time of germination I wasn't too worried as I had found BBW listed as PL on the Sandhill site and ordered 2 or 3 packs of seeds. Unfortunately now that those seedlings as big I see that not a 1 of several flats of plants are PL. ALL the seedlings are RL.
Since the original Black Brandywine was the result of an accidental cross, and everyone seems to have a problem still getting a PL seedling, my guess is that the original seed was not stable when released to the public.
