Tomato Seeds - Tomato seeds: Brandywine (Heirloom)

Cordon (Indeterminate). This Tomato seed variety dates back to 1885 and is regarded as one of the world's finest flavored 'beefsteak' tomatoes ever offered. Yields a heavy crop of firm, clear skinned, light rosy pink fruits on plants with potato like leaves. (Lycopersicon esculentum).

Heritage tomatoes: Thompson and Morgan over the past 100 years have found several tomatoes from their own trials and through travelling around the world seeing and tasting varieties both old and new. We have put together a range of good old fashioned tomatoes from those forgotten years that we consider have stood the test of time. All are unusual in color and shape having a wonderful flavor of how tomatoes used to be, making a welcome addition to any kitchen garden.
