Description

Brandywine Yellow Tomato is one of the most delicious yellow tomatoes available. It belongs to the US family of Brandywine tomatoes, which are characterized by an intensely fruity flavor. The high-yielding plants develop juicy, flat-round, golden-yellow flesh tomatoes with a thin skin that can weigh up to 400 grams. The plants grow to about 100-120 cm tall, are high-yielding, robust and cold-tolerant, and still produce fruit at lower temperatures.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Tomatoes need warm temperatures for germination between 20-25°C. After germination, place in a cooler place (max. 20°C). If sown before March, there may be a lack of light and poorer growth of the plants. When pricking out, set deeper to the cotyledons so that the plants can form new roots. Harden off before planting out. Fertilize regularly and water evenly. Should be thinned out. Especially tie or fix the main shoot, otherwise it could break off due to the heavy fruits. A location protected from rain is advantageous. Basil (against mildew and whitefly) and Tagetes (against nematodes, viruses, whitefly) have proven to be good companion plantings.
