Brandywine Pink is one of the most celebrated heirloom tomatoes, prized for its exceptional flavor, large fruit size, and classic pink-red colour. This traditional variety produces beefsteak-type tomatoes with a rich, sweet, old-fashioned taste that is widely regarded as one of the best among tomatoes. Ideal for gardeners who value quality and authenticity over uniformity.

A vigorous, indeterminate plant, Brandywine performs well in greenhouses or sunny, sheltered garden positions and rewards patience with outstanding harvests.
