| People are talking about Brandy Boy a lot and I want to give it a try next year. It's claimed to have same taste of BW but more productive. |

| Thanks Aaron! Just Googled it. I just wonder if Burpee is the only source for the seed? |

| Brandon, where do you garden and I ask bc Brandywine does better in many parts of the country than others. I'm not one who thinks that brandywine has THE best taste around, although I do think that is has a unique taste, at least grown by me. Yes, Brandy Boy F1 might well give you a better yield but I haven't seen anyone say it tastes like Brandywine and I read and often post at several message sites and have for several decades. What would you say your most important criteria are. that is , Brandywine taste or yields, b'c I can think of several pink large fruited varieties, PL or not, that do have excellent taste, at least IMO. Again, a lot depends on where you live as to the performance of any of the Brandywines, and there are several so called strains. Carolyn |
