A true classic, the Beefsteak Tomato is an old-fashioned heirloom variety prized for its enormous, juicy red fruits that average 1–2 pounds each. Dating back to at least the late 1800s, this timeless tomato has long been a favorite in Northeastern gardens but performs beautifully across the entire country. Beefsteak's vigorous, indeterminate vines produce heavy yields of meaty, flavorful tomatoes perfect for slicing, sandwiches, and summer salads. The fruit have soft skins that let you feel their heft and juice even before you slice into them—and those tender skins also make them easier to cut cleanly without crushing. If you’re looking for that quintessential, homegrown tomato flavor—rich, balanced, and bursting with juice—Beefsteak is the one that defines the name. A documented low-acid tomato. Matures approximately 85 days after transplant. Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.
