I wonder if this is a case of fasciation?

You’re gonna have one big gnarly looking tomato.

I had the same thing a few years ago – its just a huge flower that never turns into a tomato. I forget the name for it but the flower was cool

good thing its an indeterminate variety. A lower sucker will take up the guard as a new leader.

Thats not a stem really its a cluster of flowers and thats just how they grow on Brandywine plants. The clusters are big and flowers widely spaced on the stem/branch.
Edit – is it an actual sucker or leader or is it a stem growing off a mainstem or leader?

I’ve got one of those on my brandywine, too. I’m hoping it turns into a gnarly looking tomato, ima use it for paste

My Black Krims frequently do this. Not sure what causes it but it generally leads to a pretty big tomato.

Protect that flower at all costs.flick it a couple times everyday gently.

If you take the male flowers and pollinate it multiple times you will have one giant tomato.

It’ll be cat-faced as all hell, but probably still quite tasty.

This makes me so sad my Brandywine seeds didn’t germinate. 😭
