Beefsteak Red Tomato

The Beefsteak Red tomato, an old-fashioned heirloom, is a quintessential summer delight known for its gorgeous red fruits, weighing up to 2 lbs. These meaty, ribbed tomatoes boast a rich flavor, making them ideal for slicing and enjoying fresh or in sandwiches. The indeterminate plants exhibit remarkable disease resistance (F V), offering heavy yields that can extend for months, often until frost. With vines reaching up to 8 ft. tall, staking is recommended for optimal growth. This classic slicing variety has been a favorite for generations, with large, slightly ribbed fruit characterized by a deep scarlet red hue. Originating from Landreth's 1890 catalog, the 'Beefsteak' tomato's history is intertwined with the tomato's broader category, described as having a meaty texture since the 1860s. This giant slicing heirloom promises to elevate your culinary experience with huge, delicious fruits on vigorous vines. Indeterminate and maturing in 90 days, it's a perfect addition to the garden for those seeking exceptional flavor and size.
