Ongoing care: 

  • ‘Brandywine’ tomatoes grow tall and need to be supported with either canes or string.

  • Once the first fruit has set, feed plants every week or two with a liquid feed high in potassium such as Vinasse Tomato and Plant Food.

Number of seeds: Each pack contains approximately 25 organic seeds.
