Dang, I'm so tired of the yellow leaves and the worry...
What about grafting a good brandywine onto eggplant, gourd, or potato rootstock?
Any true gains to be had for us folks trying to grow a decent slicer in too hot, too humid, too dry, or too wet Memphis conditions?

Well,

Before you ever think of grafting you need to know exactly what the problem is re the yellowing leaves as in is it a disease and if so, which one. YOu need to know that to choose the best rootstock.

And the best thing to do is to graft your Brandywine to a TOMATO rootstock.

There are a couple of folks who do it and I suggest that you post this in the main Forum, not here, b'c that's where you're most likely to have a couple of folks contribute.

Fact is though, that TN is a hotbed of growing lucious heirloom varieties so I think it's best to try and ID what you're problem is first, and then proceed.

And now you've got three threads running in the same Forum. LOL

I couldn't agree more... What would tempt you to take to the road?

Do we need to?

I mean in one of your other threads you just fessed up to spraying your plants with rose Funginex and Diazinon. LOL
