Plant Features

Brandywine Black tomatoes are garden boldsters, celebrated for their dark, flavorful fruits that pack a punch. This heirloom variety yields deep reddish-purple tomatoes weighing 10 to 14 ounces, with smooth, firm skin—ideal for slicing into sandwiches, salads, or fresh eating. The flesh is juicy and meaty, offering a rich, complex tomato flavor with sweet and earthy notes.

Why grow Brandywine Black? A twist on the 1800s Brandywine line with potato-leaf foliage, this indeterminate plant reaches 4–6 feet with support, producing a steady crop through the season. It’s a vigorous choice for gardeners craving unique taste and color, thriving until frost with no specific disease resistance.

Grown naturally and pesticide-free, our Brandywine Black starter plants arrive vibrant and ready to flourish in your garden. Nurtured with care, they promise a rewarding harvest of these distinctive tomatoes.

Growing Guide
When to Plant	Transplant in frost-free weather, nights above 45°F (spring or late summer)
Soil Setup	Use loose, well-draining soil, pH 6.0–6.8, with compost or manure (fall prep ideal)
Watering Tips	Soak in-ground plants deeply 1–2 times weekly (unless rain suffices), keep leaves dry if evening; keep containers moist, up to twice daily in heat
Feeding Your Plants	Apply a balanced fertilizer or our recommended Espoma Tomato-tone at planting and every 3 weeks thereafter
Shaping & Support	Prune suckers (side shoots between stem and branches) if desired—it’s optional. Support plants with stakes or cages
Pest & Disease Control	Check for tomato hornworms (look for chewed leaves). Watch for blight or fungal issues, and treat with Serenade Garden Disease Control or copper fungicide if needed

Black brandywine tomato

All plants are doing great they were a little stressed when I received them but not bad they just needed a little water. It took 3 days to get to me and the weather was extremely hot. I believe the weather was the only reason why the plants were stressed

Healthy plants

Received healthy plants and are thriving

Nice tomato plant that arrived on time in great condition. Plant was larger than expected with a well developed roof system. Transplant went well and has grown a couple of inches in a week. Flowers are already coming out.

From janet | July 28, 2020

Beautifully shipped plants

The plants received were hearty and ready for planting they have done quite well since planting. Most impressive, however, was the packaging for delivery cross country. It was so supportive and secure that I commented many ambulances don't do as good a job transporting humans. Great work.

From linda | May 18, 2018

Outstanding packaging

Plants were extremely healthy and took off as soon as I re-potted. Not in garden yet. Still not warm enough. Was shipped at proper time but we are way below norms for this time of year. Plants surrounded by plastic shields to protect them. Best packaging of plants I have ever seen!
