Solanum lycopersicum “Brandywine Pink”

Price range: $4.00 through $10.00

The Velvet Crown of Heirloom Tomatoes

In the golden warmth of high summer, ‘Brandywine Pink’ tomatoes rest heavy on the vine, their skin a luminous blush-pink with a hint of peach glow. Their broad, slightly ribbed shoulders curve like the contours of a vintage goblet, each fruit a masterpiece of size and form. Slice through its tender skin, and the flesh opens in a sunlit rose — dense, juicy, and almost seedless — releasing a perfume that is sweet, mellow, and faintly herbal, like a garden breeze at dusk.

First grown by the Amish in the late 1800s and named for Pennsylvania’s Brandywine Creek, this heirloom has earned a place among the most beloved tomatoes in the world. Celebrated for its perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, ‘Brandywine Pink’ is a true centerpiece tomato — large enough for a single slice to cover a sandwich, yet delicate enough to savor alone with just a sprinkle of sea salt.

🌞 Care Guide for the Perfect Brandywine Harvest

  • Light: Full sun — 6–8 hours daily for peak growth and flavor development.
  • Soil: Fertile, well-draining soil enriched with compost; pH 6.0–6.8.
  • Watering: Maintain consistent, deep moisture at the root zone; avoid overhead watering.
  • Support: Strong stakes or cages are essential — vines are indeterminate and heavy-fruiting.
  • Feeding: Apply a balanced tomato fertilizer at planting and again at flowering.
  • Pruning: Remove suckers and lower leaves to improve air circulation and focus plant energy.
  • Harvest: Pick when skin has a full pink blush and fruit feels slightly soft to the touch.

Growing ‘Brandywine Pink’ is an act of patience and reward — the vine may take its time, but when the fruit ripens, it is the embodiment of tomato perfection. With its lush texture, sublime flavor, and storied history, it reigns as the crown jewel of any summer table.
