Brandt’s Joker
Brandt’s Joker is a medium-sized, indeterminate tomato variety that is most well-known for its suitability for making salsa. Brandt’s Joker was developed in the mid-1900s by Dr. Leonard D. Brandt, an agricultural researcher at the University of California, and it was released to the public in 1961. This variety was developed specifically to address the issue of poor tomato yields in areas with hot, dry climates, such as the Southwestern United States.
Brandt’s Joker tomatoes have a distinctive, Joker-like appearance, with a deep red color, a slightly oblate shape, and a small, green crown. They are also quite productive, yielding an average of 4-6 ounces of fruit per plant. The taste of these tomatoes is described as “rich” and “complex,” with a sweet, slightly smoky flavor. They have a thin, tender skin and a soft, jelly-like texture.
