| I seem to have struck out with Brandwine - no fruits set - and would like to know which varieties would do best for me. I live 2 hours NE from Houston. I enjoy big juicy tomatoes with lots of flavor. It may be too late to plant any now, but would like to try. Any suggestions? Thanks... |

| Where abouts are you located at? Are you near Madisonville? If so I am a tad south of you by around 30 minutes. Brandywines will definitely set fruit but you have to start them out early and get them outside ASAP. You have about a 6 weeks or so window that the plants must be outside ready to go during that time. Otherwise the heat will not allow them to set fruit. I was getting buckets of brandywines last year. This year I planted them again but a mix up at the tomato company left me with something I am not sure what it is. Personally it might be the regular leaf brandywine red variety, but I don't know. All I do know is them suckers are loaded to the max with fruit. From my experience I so far have been able to get fruit from everything I planted. |
