    If I remember correctly, Brandywines have a different shaped flower. This may be making pollination difficult if the weather has been humid or very wet. This article will help with hand pollinating the plant:

    There are a few things you can try. Cayenne pepper sprinkled on and around the plants, citrus peels and predatory urea (available at garden centers) are all good deterrents.

    You can also try hanging pie plates or old CDs around the plants or cover the plants with bird netting.

    When the tomato buds fall off without fruiting, this is a sign of a pollination problem. These articles will help:

    If you still feel it's a pest issue, you can treat the plants with neem oil. It is effective and safe to use. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/pesticides/neem-oil-uses.htm

    I've had the same problem with some of my tomato plants! :(
    I think they're being eaten by critters / insects that have found their way to our precious tomato plants!! lol!! I've picked 2 green worms off of my plants over the last few days. Other websites I've gone to suggested either using Sevin dust or a comparable insecticide for vegetable plants, or checking your plants carefully daily & remove any worms that may be found. Look carefully though!! They are EXACTLY THE SAME COLOR AS THE TOMATO STEMS! They also munch on the leaves, & I've found them on the underneath side of the stem. You can also know if you have them by looking for little black poop drops on the leaves.
    This is my first year growing tomatoes, so I'm no expert! Just sharing what I've learned so far! :)
    Happy gardening!

    Something is preventing the plant roots from taking up water. You may need to move them elsewhere or grow them in pots. This article will help with the gopher problem: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/animals/eliminate-gophers.htm
