Hailing from around 1885, Brandywine pink is an excellent old-fashioned beefsteak with excellent flavour. Indeterminate, potato leaved plants yeilding large fruits of 300-400g. Ideal for slicing, salads and sauces. Late season
Indeterminate plants are vigorous plants with a vining tendency. They set their fruits at intervals along their stems, and will readily grow side shoots and suckers (shoots from ground level). They need good, strong support, and it is advisable to remove the majority of the side shoots and suckers unless you have plenty of space and fertile soil to allow them to grow to their full potential. See the guide on pruning indeterminates in the resources section of the website for tips.
Sow Jan-April indoors
