Grab a weighty handful of goodness when you pick your Brandyfred tomatoes. Although these deep-shaded tomatoes are classed as "purples". Brandyfred isn’t as deep of a purple as some of the varieties we’ve seen. All the same, it has a, blue-purple hue, especially at the shoulders, and the flesh of this beefsteak-style tomato is rich and dark. The fruits can reach up to 500g while still retaining excellent flavour, and the dwarf vines will need some support to bear them.
