It&#8217;s very possible it lacked nutrients. It grew to nearly 6.5 ft (2 meters) tall. It has Potato Leaf (PL) foliage. The fruits are very tasty. At different times they were either sweet or had a nice tart kick (again, possibly due to underfeeding).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments01\/65343_6f85c658c6e01b62991065b690786a9d4a48799b.jpg\" alt=\"Brandywine Red PL foliage in greenhouse\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments01\/65345_97827913b2dc0eb20d27888808a02f15edcca6ab.jpg\" alt=\"Perfect red beefsteak fruit\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments01\/65347_1ea158419d83f2a13e3e124005a80e86c0fd9040.jpg\" alt=\"Sliced red Brandywine heirloom\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">B<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Bylinka (Lena) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (1,101 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Oryol Region (USDA Zone 5)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>An incredibly delicious tomato!
