I grow brandywine and never had problems with it. Not only that, the taste

been around for many years and have survived all kinds of problems, unlike
hybrids which are touted as being so disease resistant. Besides being around
for
years, the taste is delicious, cannot compare it to hybrids.
You will have to experiment to find out what is best for your area and stick
to
that.

Thanks. I think I'm going to not worry about it so much and get what I
like. I'm in zone 5 so I'm in a nice growing area.
