Suttons Seeds Tomato Seeds - F1 Brandy Boy

Beefsteak tomato Brandy Boy captures all the rich flavour of the beloved Brandywine heirloom tomato (long the flavour favourite among heritage tomato enthusiasts) with a more shapely form, tidier growth habit, improved disease-resistance and bigger, earlier yields. Our new hybrid produces loads of large pink fruits up to 14cm (5 ½") across. The fruits ripen evenly and share Brandywine's soft heirloom texture, thin skin and exceptional tangy-sweet taste.

(Cordon variety - one stem grown by pinching off side-shoots as they appear, needs staking and tying in.) Growing Information:Sow March/April for greenhouse growing (or April for outdoors) in a propagator on a windowsill or pots or trays in a greenhouse at 18-21°C (65-70°F) using a quality compost. Cover seeds with 6mm (¼") sieved compost (germination 8-12 days). Transplant seedlings singly into 75mm (3") pots.

Grow on, finally planting into large pots, grow bags or direct into the greenhouse border; or outdoors 45cm (18") apart when frost risk has passed. Feed regularly and sideshoot as necessary. Sowing to Cropping: 17-19 weeks.
