- 🌍 Origin: A highly regarded specific strain of the famous Brandywine heirloom family. Documented in Tatiana’s TOMATObase.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate, mid-season. Features the classic Potato Leaf (PL) foliage typical of Brandywines. Notably, it performs very well even when grown outdoors (open ground) in cooler northern climates.
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Large, oblate (flattened) pink beefsteaks. The flesh is incredibly dense and meaty. Standout feature: The fruits are practically seedless, making them perfect for slicing and sandwiches!

- ⏳ Yield & Climate: Produces a consistently good yield, which is a great achievement for a Brandywine strain grown outdoors in a short-season region.

An indeterminate, mid-season salad variety. The leaf type is potato (PL). The fruits are large, oblate pink beefsteaks. They are tasty, sweet, meaty, and dense, but almost all of them are practically seedless or have very few seeds.
It grew outdoors in open ground and showed a good yield. I will definitely grow it again next year, but in a greenhouse.
This variety is in Tatiana’s database, listed without the word “Strain” at the end:

But the seeds came to me under the name Brandywine, Joyce’s Strain.
