Bradley tomatoes are a classic heirloom variety known for their large, pink, and perfectly rounded fruits with smooth, crack-resistant skin. These flavorful tomatoes have a rich, sweet taste and a firm, meaty texture, making them ideal for slicing, canning, and fresh eating. Bradley tomatoes are particularly favored for their disease resistance and ability to thrive in warm climates.
Growth Type: Indeterminate (vine variety)
Bradley tomato plants grow tall and produce fruit continuously throughout the season, offering an extended harvest of delicious, homegrown tomatoes.
Key Features:
- Heirloom Excellence: Non-GMO, open-pollinated variety perfect for seed saving.
- Large, Pink Fruits: Round and smooth, weighing 8-10 ounces each.
- Rich Flavor: Sweet and slightly tangy with a firm, meaty texture.
- Crack-Resistant: Known for producing beautiful, unblemished fruits.
Growing Instructions:
- Seed Starting: Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and bottom-water to avoid disturbing the seeds.
- Transplanting: Transplant outdoors after frost danger has passed, spacing plants 24+ inches apart.
- Sunlight: Requires full sun (6-8 hours daily).
- Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but avoid overwatering. Water at the base of the plant to prevent wet leaves.
- Support: Use stakes, cages, or trellises to support the tall vines and heavy fruits.
- Harvesting: Pick when tomatoes turn fully pink and feel slightly soft to the touch.
