General Information: Bring heirloom-style beefsteak tomatoes to a raised bed or large container with this unique tomato variety. Plants produce early-maturing, bright red fruit with excellent flavor and high yield.
Idea & Tips: Best grown in-ground or in a large container with support of a trellis or cage. Plant in a sunny area and water regularly. Mulching helps ensure an even supply of moisture. Container plantings will dry out faster than plants in-ground. Tomatoes prefer regular feeding once the fruit sets, but too much early in the season will grow a large plant with fewer fruit.
