Black Brandywine Tomato is a legendary heirloom variety celebrated for its exceptional rich flavor and beautiful dark-colored fruits. Widely regarded as one of the finest tasting tomatoes available, Black Brandywine offers a perfect balance of savory sweetness and robust acidity with a creamy old-fashioned tomato flavor that many gardeners compare to gourmet tomato soup.

The fruits are medium to large in size with a stunning dusky chocolate-red coloring that gives this heirloom its distinctive appearance. Their rich juicy flesh makes them outstanding for fresh eating, slicing, sandwiches, salads, and gourmet dishes.

Black Brandywine plants grow on vigorous indeterminate vines that continue producing throughout the growing season until frost. Because of their sprawling habit and heavy fruit production, sturdy cages or staking are recommended to support healthy productive plants.

With its unmatched flavor, striking appearance, and reliable productivity, Black Brandywine remains one of the most prized heirloom tomatoes for gardeners and chefs alike.

How to Save Seeds

Tomatoes are primarily self-pollinating, so separating varieties by approximately 50 feet is generally sufficient for maintaining seed purity.

Harvest tomatoes when fully ripe and allow them to sit for several days if desired before processing seeds.

Cut tomatoes in half and scoop the seeds and pulp into a mason jar with a small amount of water. Place the jar in a warm location out of direct sunlight and allow the mixture to ferment for 5-7 days.

After fermentation, remove floating debris and mold, then rinse the remaining viable seeds thoroughly through a fine mesh strainer.

Spread seeds on paper towels or drying screens and stir regularly while drying to prevent sticking. Once fully dry, store seeds in a cool dry location for future planting.
