Other than the cracking, low production, and not having any taste, it may be a fine tomato for someone else.

This is a cross between 'Rutgers' and 'Brandywine' and my first experience with this tomato. It is supposed to have the Brandywine taste and no cracking, The seeds came from Tomato Growers Supply.

So far, the plants seem lagging but I also sowed them later.

Updated 9/1 to add I would not recommend this tomato. Taste was flat and dull, barely better than supermarket tomatoes. Taste does not resemble Brandywine!
