Brandywine Tomatoes
These Brandywine tomatoes are sourced from organic seeds and grown organically. Brandywine is a type of heirloom tomato that is known for their large size, rich flavor, and juicy flesh. They are a popular choice for use in salads, sandwiches, and sauces.
Plant Specifications:
These tomato seedling take longer to mature - up to 90 days. You want to make sure to plant these seedlings in large container pots or in raised garden beds as they can get to heights of 10 ft tall and 3 feet wide. They will continue to produce tomatoes throughout the growing period which extends through the Summer months. Once temperatures dip into the low 50's consistently, you will wind down the plant and take your final harvest.
Make sure to plant in nutrient dense soil, especially optimized for growing fruiting plants. You can purchase our magic organic soil and organic soil boosters (micro and macro nutrients in the form of marine-based fertilizers, worm castings, and beneficial fungi) specifically curated for fruiting plants to help improve your soil.

They also make a delicious topping for pizza or can be used as a base for a fresh salsa or gazpacho. Overall, Brandywine tomatoes are a versatile and nutritious ingredient that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
- Growing Season: Most fruiting plants have their peak growing season starting in Spring and extending through Fall. They need the warm days and nights to produce fruit.
- Harvest Method: As soon as the plant bears the fruit, harvesting can begin and will continue through the season. Most fruiting plants grow through a season and then are done.
- First Harvest: Fruiting plants take longer to bear fruit and can take 2-3 months to get to a harvesting stage.
- Final Harvest: Occurs at the end of summer and into early Fall for most climates. Some plants, such as strawberries will become dormant in Winter and then pop back into action in the Spring.
- Best Planted Wall Placement: Fruiting plants, like micro-tomatoes and jalapenos, that are smaller can grow on the Planted Wall. Place micro-tomatoes and jalapenos that grow in the Planted Wall near the top so you can maximize sun and warmth during the Summer. Larger fruiting plants are intended to be grown in larger grow pots (i.e. 15 gallon pots)
Most fruiting plants prefer warmer temperatures and will be dormant or grow very slowly in mild winter climates.
You want to be aware of the extreme temperature ranges in your region. If you follow the guidelines below, you will be safe:
COLD CLIMATES
- If you live in a location where the temperatures dip below freezing, then you will want to wait to grow fruiting plants until night temperatures are in the 50's consistently.
WARM CLIMATES:
- If you live where it reaches above 90 degrees consistently, you'll want to grow heat tolerant fruiting plants (tomatoes and peppers) and herbs (basil, mint, rosemary) primarily.
To find out what extreme temperatures your location experiences, check out the USDA zone for your region.
