\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Queen Anne<\/strong> is a mid-season, compact indeterminate vine bred by renowned American breeder Tom Wagner<\/strong> (crossing Brandy Stripes<\/em> x Vintage Wine<\/em>). Fruits average around 7 oz (200 g) with an oblate shape and plump shoulders. Because Wagner’s early releases often display genetic segregation, growers report two distinct color phenotypes: one shimmering, pearlescent pink and another deep chocolate-bronze with metallic copper striping. Taste reviews run from mild and sweet to flat and supermarket-like. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Hands down one of the prettiest varieties of the new season, a recent release from Tom Wagner. It is a cross of Brandy Stripes x Vintage Wine.
\nGrew three plants in the poly greenhouse under identical conditions and the exact same feeding routine, and the fruit colors turned out surprisingly different!
\nTwo of the plants gave me delicate pink fruit with a soft pearlescent glow (hard to even put into words), while the third plant put out chocolate-colored tomatoes with shiny copper stripes. In both cases, the fruit was flat-round with plump shoulders, solid and juicy inside, with a very pleasant, mild, sweetish flavor.
\nVines stayed on the shorter side, about 4.5 to 5 ft (1.3-1.5 m) in the greenhouse. Trained each one to 2 stems.
\nMaturity was mid-season in our climate. \ud83d\ude0a

How’s the yield on it? I grew Vintage Wine back in the day, and that one was always a dependable workhorse.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

@Vlad-69 A bit early to make final calls on yield after just one trial season, I’d say. Pulling 7 to 9 of these gorgeous stunners per vine felt like a personal record for year one! The seed came straight from the States, and any new variety takes time to settle into our local conditions anyway. We can pass final judgment on yield down the road. \ud83d\udce9<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Grew Queen Anne this year too. Vine topped out right around 5 ft (1.6 m), sturdy habit without getting tangled in tons of foliage. Ran it as a double leader. Average fruit weight was right around 7 oz (200 g). Production ended up middle of the road. Didn’t keep an exact count, probably around 12-15 tomatoes. But man, what total knockouts! Photos really don’t do the color justice. They look like they’re glowing from the inside with that pearly sheen. Pure eye candy. I only had room for one plant, and mine looked like this. A friend of mine grew it both in her greenhouse and out in the garden beds. Color shifted quite a bit from plant to plant, but the fruit shape stayed identical. Flavor was mild, sweet, and pleasant.

Well, now you got me hooked! Especially since I managed to misplace my Vintage Wine seeds anyway. Considering 12 to 15 fruit per vine sounds plenty good to me, I am definitely tracking down some seeds. Anyone got a trusted vendor? Spotted a couple online listings plus Aleksey Kulik has it in his catalog. Would love to track down original breeder packs if they’re still around.

Put out Queen Anne this past season. Gorgeous fruit, stayed compact, and produced well, but the flavor was a total dud for me. Tasted just like a bland supermarket tomato.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
