Overview
Brandywise is an F1 hybrid developed at Cornell with Brandywine as one parent, pairing that heirloom's flavor with much better disease resistance. Fruit mostly runs 8 to 12 ounces. One zone 5 grower reported the plants grew well with minimal pruning and kept producing into late season; seed was obtained from Fruition Seeds in New York. A sensible choice for those who love Brandywine but lose plants to disease.
