Thank you for that information!
I can confirm the summer humidity levels here in central Ohio are high and uncomfortable. That helps explain the decent Brandywine production. Cause I know I'm not a gifted gardener. Wink
First time growing 1880's Amish Paste Brandywine did pretty well, even though it dropped blossoms. Now I understand the reason- insufficient pollination of all 8 ovaries.

Wow! what a great discussion, and all the helpful information.

Rose, like you, Brandywine has been largely a bust for me here in St. Helens, OR, but for flavor and decent fruit set, Black Sea Man has been great. Not as big a fruit set as Early Girl, but sooo much more flavor. If you'd like to try it, send me a P.M. and I'll mail you some of the seed I just received from Tomatofest. Nonna

I am gardening in Brooks, GA. With very high high humidity in the middle of the summer. Although I had high humidity I still had no flower set because of the high temperatures (I assume). So humidity by itself does not help fruit set. I basically had no Brandywine in July and August on my one plant. Since August (after the temperatures moderated), I have picked 6 Brandywine. So maybe the answer is high humidity and moderate temperatures.

I think you are correct. Even though the area I live in had some very uncomfortable heat this summer there was high humidity. For me the fact that my toms got some shade in the afternoon was a factor that made for a very productive yield.

Just finished picking the rest of my 2 Brandywine plants. Frost nipped them a bit last night - even though there was none in the forecast. The toms themselves were not harmed so I picked the rest today.

I have now harvested a total of 54 tomatoes and a total of 39 pounds. I would say that is amazing since I know that many have not had that success. Wondering if my variety also contributed to that. I purchased two plants from a local nursery. Maybe they are wise enough to only sell what is compatible for this area. I guess I will have to ask them.

greatgranny, please share the information you glean from the nursery. We keep hearing how delicious a Brandywine is, and we try to grow them without much success. Perhaps it is the varietal. In the meantime: WOW, 39 pounds from two plants! Totally impressive, I'm here to tell 'ya. Nonna

Based on the reviews for Brandywine, I think I will try the Brandywine - pink Suddath (Quisenberry strain) sold at Johnny's (or so the reviewer said). Apparently heat is a problem with fruit set. I will try to start as early as I can in the spring using row covers. One thing that many of the reviews said was Brandwine are slow to mature. But I picked my first Brandywine at the same time I picked my first Early Girl. Go figure.

Nice link.... I got my Brandywines from Johnny's I had problems with them setting when it got very hot but when it cooled down several set on each plant but probably will not turn; but I like green toms anyway. Bottomline they are not as prolific as other tomatoes so may plant less of the pink Brandys next year but hopefully it will not be so hot next summer and I will have better results........

As soon as I can reach them I will ask them. Both of the owners are very well versed in organic gardening, etc.

OMG! Baker Creek just sent me Cherokee Purple seeds as my free gift. I will plant some, today -- even though it's pretty late. I'll move them inside for the winter. Cool

Okay, here's my one plant, grown from seed in a Jiffy Pellet, planted July 21,2019. It's now in a 2-gal. container on my balcony. Nobody here mentioned yellow brandywine, but here it is.

Not only is this way sooner than expected, but I thought these plants had to be huge before they started producing. This one is only about 15" high. golly gee whiz

Countrynaturals, I wish you great success with your Brandywine!

I had a new experience with the Brandywine tomato this year.  It can in a six-pack of a variety of heirloom tomatoes that included a Rutger, which was the only tomato I wanted in the six varieties.  I still planted all of them and was quite surprised to have a good number of Brandywine tomatoes!  It wasn't prolific, but it was so, so delicious.  It had very few seeds, a good center core and sweet, but not cherry tomato-sweet.  I know we are going through a climate change; this summer was not as hot as the previous last two.  We had a record 33 inches of rain this past rain season, so all the soils were deeply moist when I planted my Brandywine in spring.

Knowing now more than 2012, I think this Brandywine tomato was possibly grown closer to my California temperature than Ohio's. I didn't keep the grower's info.  I did  keep the last two largest, ripest tomatoes for seeds.  I'm going to plant each year for as long as I can and I am hoping this Brandywine will be suited for my environment after 7 years.  Seven years is what I learned will be the amount of time the plant will need to adapt to its environment.  Well, I'm hoping.

Thanks, Rose. Was yours in the ground or in a container? I'm a little concerned about mine because I can only give it a 5-gallon pot for the winter. Fingers crossed that will be big enough.

It was in a raised bed facing east/west on a 5-foot trellis and by early September it was over 5 feet.  I trimmed some side shoots to keep it within the trellis.  It got filtered shade after 4 PM due to some trees.  I saved the full sun for my Cherokee Purple tomato, which is another delicious tomato.

I think your five gallon container is enough.

My Brandywine is now about 4' tall, with 2 little blossoms. Hubby and I transplanted it into a 5 gal. bucket and it seems happy. It's also living inside, in front of a south-facing slider and seems okay with the amount of light it's getting. It's about 100 days old, and I'm satisfied with its progress, considering the fact that our days are roughly 30% shorter than they were in July. I gave it a nice dose of liquid bone meal when we put it into its bigger bucket. Fingers crossed that after 3 years of trying, this could be the one! happy turtle

Seems like brandywines are thirstier than other tomatoes. I almost lost this one twice, when it dried out too much. I blamed it on the container being too small or my forgetfulness, but now I don't think so. It wants a quart of water every day, now that it's getting so big. That's more than any of my other tomato plants are getting -- even the ones in the peak of production. Shocked

All of my tomatoes, which grew to over 8' tall this year, seemed to require a lot of water. I had to modify the drip irrigation in the tomato bed to run the lines around each plant so the roots got more water than the bed would normally get. I normally just have the tubing run the length of the bed, but for the tomatoes I had to extend the tubing and circle each plant and then run to the next plant. Of course, having the severe drought we had this summer caused a little more watering than usual, too.

I read somewhere that less water means better tomatoes. That makes it a real challenge.

I have a theory about Brandywines being less productive. My blossoms are all in a cluster. That works for cherry tomatoes, but there's no way 4 1-pounders could survive in one little bunch on the same stem. That means at least half of them won't survive. If they only produce on the main stem -- which is what it's looking like so far -- that would explain the low output. If all I'm gonna get is 2 tomatoes, I don't care how good they are, it won't be worth the effort. Brandywine-specific question - Page 5 950477

Excellent observation.  Maybe you could remove two flowers before they open, leaving two flowers to produce a tomato.

Are you trimming your potted Brandywine? I see a broken leaf in your picture.

That theory didn't seem to hold for my Brandywine tomatoes.  They grew in big clusters, all ripened, and were absolutely delicious. I did hand pollinate them, though, to ensure all were pollinated.
