The fruits are slightly ribbed and are an excellent slicer with a rich sub-acid flavor. Its flesh is meaty and juicy, perfect for any sandwich or burger. Grow this variety for some delicious red beefsteak tomatoes in a determinate habitat.
Growth Habit:Determinate - Determinate tomatoes are more compact, bush-type plants that set their fruit all at once and end the harvest. They won't continue to produce tomatoes after that. By planting multiple plants in intervals a week apart, you can continue to harvest for longer periods.
Soil Preference:Well-draining, loose (sandy loam), slightly acidic (6.2 to 6.8), and moisture retaining. Too much nitrogen in the soil may lead to more foliage production and less fruiting. Tomatoes like more phosphorus and potassium than other vegetables.
Direct Sow:No
Start Indoors:Yes Start Indoors 7-9 weeks before your last spring frost date.
Tomato Type:Slicing - Larger, round tomatoes, the size of your fist or larger.
Plant Width:18 to 36 inches
Growth Speed:Mid - Ready to harvest 70 to 80 days from transplant. Tricky to get a tomato by the 4th of July with these varieties. They are good mid-summer producers for most USDA Zones.
