The variety ripens rather late. It's especially worthwhile for sheltered, warm spots and for anyone who values aromatic tomato slices, salads and sandwiches.

Brandywine Black tomato plant – an aromatic young plant raised by us
Brandywine Black – character and use
Brandywine Black belongs to the dark beefsteak tomatoes and shows the potato-leaf foliage typical of Brandywine types. The large fruit ripens mahogany-red to dark violet and has juicy, rather soft flesh. Its value lies above all in classic tomato aroma; the variety isn't meant for long storage.
Fruit, flavour and harvest
Depending on position and fruit set, the flat-round, lightly ribbed tomatoes often reach 200 to 450 grams. The flavour is full-bodied, fruity and spicy with balanced sweetness and acidity. Thick slices suit bread and sandwiches, smaller pieces salads and caprese; very ripe fruit can also be processed into sauce.
Position and care
For this medium-late variety, a warm, full-sun and rain-sheltered spot is advantageous. The cordon tomato is tied in regularly and best trained to one or two main shoots. Support large fruit or trusses additionally. Even watering reduces growth stress. In a pot, use at least 25 litres, more is better.
A tomato young plant, raised by us
We raise the Brandywine Black tomato plant ourselves at our family business in Illmitz. You'll get a vigorous young plant to start your tomato season. After shipping, it should first stand in a bright, sheltered spot and be gradually acclimatised to direct sun and outdoor conditions. It's only planted out permanently once no more late frosts are expected.
Absolutely recommended! I’m completely impressed with this chili plant seller. The quality of the plants is outstanding – strong, healthy, and clearly grown with passion and expertise.
The absolute highlight for me, however, was that this seller is one of the few places that offers my all-time favorite variety, the Lemon Drop chili. I’ve finally found a reliable source for this fantastic variety!
Shipping was fast, and the plants were perfectly packaged, so they arrived in excellent condition. I can wholeheartedly recommend this seller to any chili lover looking for top quality and fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering here again!

#1 Spice supplier
Super friendly service when buying chili plants, and the products are truly excellent. My #1 source for heat :) The ultimate compliment came from an Indian colleague who said that with Tschida chili sauces, he can finally enjoy the level of heat he knows from home here in Europe!

Simply top!
Tschida Tschili – where heat and flavor come together in perfect harmony. The chili products are simply outstanding. I love spicy food, but many products just burn your tongue without delivering any real flavor. With Tschida Tschili, it’s completely different. For an experienced palate, everything is very enjoyable. The flavors are perfectly matched to the level of heat, resulting in truly delicious products.
I visit the farm from time to time as part of my culinary tours with groups. What can I say? Jan and his family are simply the perfect hosts – friendly, authentic, and genuinely local. I always really enjoy visiting you!
