Big beefsteak harvests from a compact, resilient plant
A widely adapted beefsteak variety, this tomato produces generous 8–16 ounce fruits with a classic size and texture suited to slicing, sandwiches, and fresh summer meals. Its determinate growth habit keeps plants relatively manageable while delivering a concentrated harvest.
Fruits mature in about 75 days, making this a dependable choice for vegetable gardens, raised beds, and large containers. Resistance to Fusarium wilt races 1 and 2, nematodes, and Verticillium wilt adds reassurance in areas where these common soilborne problems occur. This product is Certified Organic by Clemson University.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight and rich, well-draining soil. Plant deeply, burying part of the stem, and space plants 24–36 inches apart. Add a sturdy cage or stake at planting to support the heavy fruit.
2. Watering: Water deeply and consistently, providing about 1–2 inches per week depending on heat and rainfall. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy, and water at the base to help keep the foliage dry.
3. Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed because this is a determinate variety. Remove damaged or yellowing lower leaves and any foliage touching the soil, but avoid heavy pruning that could reduce the harvest.
4. Fertilizing: Mix compost or a balanced vegetable fertilizer into the soil before planting. Once flowering begins, use a tomato fertilizer lower in nitrogen and higher in phosphorus and potassium, following label directions.
