Need help for Brandywine

[bebbo]

Hi all
I bought tomato seeds. The packaging reads "Brandywine" but do not seem to Brandywine (old american tomato).

please, can anyone help me? Are these tomatoes brandywine?
Thanks in advance!

No that is not Brandywine, but it is a very interesting tomato. It might be Brandystripe, bred by Tom Wagner and renamed here in the States as Vintage Wine.

Thank you very much!

Some info:
good fruit production, and good taste. Excellent resistance to pests and tolerate heat very well. I live in north Sardinia, isle in the middle of Mediterranean sea, and the weather is very hot in the summer.

just some pics of "Vintage Wine", aka Brandystripe:

Thanks again, TZ -OH6.
I hope to find seeds of the Red Brandywine the next year. In Italy it is very difficult. Anyway, will plant again Vintage Wine.

It is not a problem to trade seeds between many countries. Australia has stopped all seed from entering, but I have traded with Belgium and Sweden with no problems. I am sure that if Italy has no restrictions it would be easy to find someone eager to trade Red Brandywine for some Italian varieties. I would offer, but I have not grown it yet.
