Beefsteak Tomato

It could be assumed that this heirloom Beefsteak tomato is what you think of when you want a large tomato. It's right there in the name! Look for late-season, gorgeous red, up to 2-lb. fruits with a meaty texture and a full, rich flavor. They're ideal for slicing and eating fresh or for sandwiches. While these impressive tomatoes can easily grow large, it’s not just in terms of size that they stand out. They also heavy-bearing, all the way to frost. Get out the BIG cage for this one.
