Tomato 'True Black Brandywine'

'True Black Brandywine' tomato has medium-sized fruits that weigh 6 to 14 ounces. People are crazy about any tomato with the name of Brandywine in it, but it's not my favorite black tomato. I prefer more zing. The mild flavor is sweet and earthy, and the production is very good.

'True Black Brandywine' was bred in the 1920s by Dr. Harold E. Martin of Westtown, PA from a cross between 'Brandywine' and 'Feejee Improved'.
