Wow, the Black Brandywine tomato is a true gem among heirloom varieties, renowned for its exceptional flavor profile. This tomato stands out due to its superb taste, which balances a robust acidity with a savory sweetness that is reminiscent of the finest tomato soup. The creamy, rich flavor makes it a favorite among both home gardeners and gourmet chefs alike, delivering a delightful culinary experience whether eaten fresh, in salads, or cooked into dishes.

One notable characteristic of the Black Brandywine is its indeterminate growth habit. This means that the plant continues to grow and produce fruit throughout the growing season, requiring some form of support, like stakes or cages, to manage its sprawling vines. Gardeners need to be prepared for its vigorous growth, but the reward is a bountiful harvest of medium to large fruits. These tomatoes are more chocolate in color than black, adding a unique aesthetic appeal to their already impressive taste.

In terms of growing conditions, the Black Brandywine tomato thrives in well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight. Regular watering and occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer will help ensure healthy plants and a prolific yield. With proper care, gardeners can enjoy the unmatched flavor of Black Brandywine tomatoes from mid-summer to the first frost, making it a truly rewarding addition to any garden.

How to Save Seeds

Tomatoes are self pollinating, so separate by 50ft is sufficient. Harvest tomatoes when ripe and you can even let them set for a week or so before saving seeds. Once you are ready to harvest simply cut in half scoop out seeds and pulp into a mason jar of water for fermenting. Then seal jar with a lid and place in and warm place out of direct sunlight. After 5 to 7 days of fermenting pour out seeds floating on top of the water along with mold and then pour rest of the good seeds, on the bottom, over a fine mess strainer to catch them. Dry well in fine mesh or paper towels but turn often so they don't stick to paper.
