| Numbers of days are counted from transplant of 6-9 weeks old plants until it’s time to start harvest. I never cut the top of the plants and the height are from plants that have grown freely and been properly prune. The length of leafs is a finger point of how close you can plant the tomatoes in a row, if the leafs are 30 cm you could plant the tomatoes with 30 cm between the plants in a row, if you cut of all suckers properly. The information height, length and number of days are only for plants that are grown outside in healthy good soil. If you grow tomatoes in a greenhouse the result will be different, the temperature are higher day/night, the plant get more water, fertilizer etc, and the tomatoes usually have less taste. A tomato strain that grow to 140 cm outdoors could in a greenhouse grow over 200 cm. Big beef tomatoes grow faster in a greenhouse and mostly have another shape than tomatoes grown outside. The colour on dark (black) tomatoes usually gets a lighter colour in a greenhouse; they got darker and have more taste if they are grown outside. If you sit behind a window you probably not get so much colour from the sun. The growing result depends of which growing technique you use. All information of each plant is how they develops for me, grown outside in Sweden in zone 3 (ca USDA zone 5). |

Old tomato strain, the plant has a strong but tiny stem that grows over 250 cm high; sparsely with ca 40-45 cm long leafs on the plant. Elongated heart/plum shape almost seedless meaty tomatoes on long trusses, some grows on (cut), juicy very fresh taste with little acid. This plant need a good amount of compost in the soil to develop good, it could need some help with the pollination to. One good way is to us an electric toothbrush; if you lift the flowering tomato truss easy with the backside of the electric toothbrush the pollination will be better. |

Robust plant from high altitude in the Andes, the plant doesn’t seem to care much about bad and cold weather. Unbelievable big covering leaf that can grow over 70 cm long, but most of the leaf are 50-60 cm long and 50-60 cm wide. Healthy ca 200 cm high plant with steady and very strong stem, the leaf covers the plant well. Cut of some of the lowest leaf for better air circulation around the base. Big blocky orange/red tomatoes that look like sweet peppers, in trusses of 6-9, some double tomatoes higher up on the plant. The plant gives a big yield of tasty almost seedless juicy tomatoes, very meaty with a well-balanced fresh taste. Eat the tomatoes fresh or use them for cooking, you don’t have to cook them for long to have a tasty sauce. Try to grow this strain in single rows with 50-60 cm between the plants and give them good support. The plant needs a good amount of compost in the soil to develop well. Some tomatoes are very long, ca 17-18 cm and look like a cow horn. One of my favourite. |

A little tiny potato leaf strain, ca 170 cm to over 200 cm high plants. Mrs. Sudduth's strain has a little bit stronger taste and with more acid than most of the other Brandywine strains. Big tasty tomatoes that can grow up to 800-900 gram each, but most of them have a weight of ca 300-400 gram each. The tomatoes are very meaty whit creamy flesh and a mild full-bodied good taste. Start harvest the tomatoes right after they have got colour for best taste, if they sit on the wine to long they get little watery and lose much of their fine taste. |

Unique very high yielding English strain. Short strong tiny stem, ca 140 cm high with 30-40 cm long wide leafs that cover good, Mid/normal size lemon/plum shape sweet tasty tomatoes, very healthy plant. I only let one truss develop and cut of all suckers and new flowers above (not the top) the saved truss. The truss grows big and wide with ca 60-70 bright red meaty paste tomatoes on each. The truss have many small extra leafs and flower and flower; I have count to over 1000 flowers on one truss. Put some dry grass or similar under the truss so it not rests directly on the ground, the plant need very little support. Don’t grow this one as a bush tomato; you only get a big wide bush with little tomatoes. If you let more then one truss develop, there is ca 30 % less with tomatoes on every truss above the first one. |

Many different shapes and sizes on the tomatoes, but most of them are heart and strawberry shaped with a nice deep reed colour, fully mature they have a nice dark red strawberry colour, but then they are almost over ripe and not so tasty to eat.
