Well I guess I have the Potato leaf red brandywine. Can anyone tell me about this variety? A description from reimer seeds reads as follows
85 days. Lycopersicon esculentum. Plant produces high yields of 12 oz red beefsteak tomatoes. Tomatoes have a sweet rich tomato flavor and turn red when mature. Excellent for salads and sandwiches. It is named after the Brandywine River in Pennsylvania, USA. This is the potato leaf brandywine variety. A heirloom variety from the USA. Indeterminate. pk/10
That sounds a lot like the Landis strain which is what I was orginaly looking for. Is this potato leaf tomato somehow connected to the landis red brandywine? If not where is this tomato from? It seems to be a pre 1900 variety so someone must have grown it.
I'm interested in using the variety I have in a breeding project, so before I go making crosses I want to make sure I know exactly what I have.
