That sounds unusual in my experience. Of course it depends on how "generic" the Brandywine was or if it was really Brandywine or an 'off' seed. My BW plants are always huge. Only done KB a couple of times but both years it was an average size plant.

My Kellogg's Breakfast have done smashingly well this year as well - and a change from the last several. We are enjoying both KB and Brandywine - I have Sudduth - and the KB plants are larger but not that much so. BW is just much later for me. Pruden's Purple I think is so similar for the fruit and it does start earlier and generally more tomatoes.

Sounds about right. My KBX plants have always been larger than Brandywine and most other varieties as well. Ami

KBX or KB is a slightly bigger plant than Brandywine Sudduth for me. Maybe 10% bigger around and tall.

What do you mean by "generic" Brandywine? I hope you mean Brandywine Suddath. The first Suddath Brandywines can be quite large, typically bigger than KB but after a while both fruits are more or less the same medium to large size. Anyhow, fruit size for both varieties can vary greatly.

Generic -- the plant label said brandywine; the picture was a pink tomato; the vendor said it was a red brandywine; potato leaf plant. I don't think you can get anymore generic than that. :)

Results of growing one plant of a variety do not convey any meaningful information about the qualities or potential of that variety.

tdcpa,

Individual reports of our experiences, statistically irrelevant, collectively do provide meaningful information. Further, if individuals don't provide their irrelevant information, there won't be a collection of individual experiences to work with.

Can anyone compare the taste of Kellogg's breakfast to brandywine sudduths? For instance, which is sweeter or more acidic, does one have thinner skin, etc.
