Brandywine
A separate red-fruited, regular-leaf Brandywine line, not a colour variant of the pink one.
Origin & history
The red-fruited Brandywine line, distinct from the famous pink potato-leaf strain and probably closer to the variety Johnson & Stokes originally listed in 1889. Regular leaf, smaller fruit, heavier yields.
