| I tried Bradley in a self-watering container this year and it worked out very well for me in Northern VA. It definitely needed staking but maxed out at a manageable 3 ft. The plant was very productive and I picked many 3-4” diameter nicely shaped pink tomatoes that tasted pretty good. I’ve read container tomatoes don’t have the taste of ground tomatoes and if that’s the case then Bradley should have a fantastic taste from the ground. I had no problems with cracking but that may have been the effect of the self-watering container. Definitely a winner and I will be planting again. |

| This was the first in a series of pink tomatoes developed by Joe McFerran at the University of Arkansas. It was developed to replace the Lsu version of the Gulf State Market. ( The famed PINK tomato of Arkansas.) next in the series was Traveler (1971), Traveler 76 and finally Ozark Pink. The Travelers have enjoyed a resurgence in popularity as the \"Arkansas Traveler\" passed off as an \"heirloom\". All show thier Gulf State Market heritage and vary in resistance to cracking, and fusarium wilt. For me Bradley is a slightly larger and an adeqate performer. More prone to cracking than the Travelers. |
