BEEFSTEAK TOMATO
Solanum lycopersicum
SKU: 2042-020
Description
This heirloom is probably the most popular variety of tomato for home gardens, and for good reasons! This tomato is not just a beefsteak type, it is the true named 'Beefsteak' heirloom tomato!
Beefsteak tomatoes produce large fruits weighing between one and two pounds, with a meaty flesh and small seeds cavities. The flavour is sweet and refreshing. Beefsteak is an ideal slicing variety, as the fruits can get large enough to cover a whole slice of bread with a single slice. A tomato sandwich lover’s favourite!
Note: Only the ripe tomato fruit is edible. All other parts are poisonous.
Germination: Start indoors in a sterile seed-start mix 6-8 weeks before the last frost date for your area. Germinate at 21C (70F) and keep consistently moist. Once growing place under bright lights at 16-21C (60-70F) and can be slightly moist but never saturated. Plant outdoors in full sun once all chance of frost is passed.
