Craig,
Here are some pictures of PL 3 5-63 that ripened. I guess it does not have the gene for even ripening at this point in the grow out. It makes a very eye catching fruit.
On a scale of 10 it probably rates about 7-7.5 in taste. Made a nice salsa but more of the brandywine flavor needs to show up. The productivity is similar to what I expect from a BW.
The plant label in one picture is 5 inches long if that gives you any idea of the size of the tomato.
Am I correct in assuming further growouts may show different traits yet to be expressed?
All in all it has been a good tomato to grow healthwise etc.
Have seeds from this one fruit fermenting (which reminds me not a lot of seeds in the fruit). Shall I send seeds to you out of one fruit or wait until more fruit ripen and send a mix of seeds?

PS Hope the photo size is not a problem. Still a newbie at posting pics.
