Brandywine OTV Beefsteak Tomato

Brandywine OTV, Brandywine Off The Vine, produces slightly flat-round, slightly ribbed beefsteak tomatoes of around 300-700 grams each. Red fruits with some orange blush. Red flesh with an excellent mild tomato flavor. From a spontaneous cross between Brandywine Yellow and an unknown variety. Stabilized by Carolyn Homme and published in 1996 with Craig LeHoullier. Cited in Carolyn Male's book "100 Heirloom tomatoes for the American garden”. Around 75-85D. Indeterminate. 10seeds/pack

Indeterminate tomato varieties will keep on growing the whole summer until the autumn frost. They will keep flowering and setting fruit. The sucker doesn't have to be pruned, but if not the plant will grow extremely large. 1-3 suckers could be spared along the main stem and the rest could be pruned. If not pruned at all the plant might tend to put energy into growing large instead of producing tomatoes on the main stem and the selected suckers. All indeterminate varieties could be staked or supported to avoid fruits laying on the ground.
