Another exciting new addition to the EFN catalogue from "Landrace Seedsman" Joseph Lofthouse. 'Brad' produces red saladette sized fruits (2-3 ounces) with yellow speckles. Very early and productive, this is an indeterminate and potato-leafed variety. Brad is tied with 'Jagodka' as the earliest tomato in Joseph’s garden. It produces fruit all season long until killed by frost. Brad came to Joseph by way of Dan McMurray of Creston, British Columbia. Brad is a key ancestor of Joseph's "The Beautifully Promiscuous and Tasty Tomato Project." Give this special short-season tomato a try!
