Premium Red Beefsteak Harvest of Choice Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Red Beefsteak is a classic heirloom tomato with large, deeply ribbed, meaty fruits weighing 12–24 ounces. Rich, old-fashioned flavor and few seeds make it ideal for sandwiches, burgers, and summer platters. Vigorous, indeterminate vines bear until frost and require timber stakes, cattle panels, or reinforced metal cages; standard cages may buckle. Prune suckers to one or two main stems for better airflow, blight prevention, and fewer, larger tomatoes. Inconsistent watering increases splitting and blossom-end rot risk; use drip irrigation and thick mulch to keep soil moisture steady.

Germination: Approximately 5–10 days in warm soil.

Maturity: Approximately 80–90 days to maturity, depending on growing conditions.

Genus: Solanum lycopersicum.

Quantity: 25 Premium Heirloom Seeds.

Appearance: Red Beefsteak Tomato produces large, deeply ribbed fruits typically weighing 12–24 ounces.

Flavor & Uses: Rich, old-fashioned tomato flavor pairs with meaty flesh and few seeds—ideal for slicing onto sandwiches, burgers, and fresh summer platters.

Growth Habit: Vigorous, indeterminate vines continue to bear until frost. Support heavy branches and fruit with timber stakes, cattle panels, or reinforced metal cages; standard cages may buckle under the weight.

Growing Notes: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last spring frost. Transplant after frost danger passes into full sun and fertile, warm, well-draining soil. Prune suckers to maintain one or two main stems, improve airflow, and encourage fewer, larger tomatoes. Use drip irrigation and a thick layer of mulch to keep soil moisture steady and reduce the risk of splitting and blossom-end rot.
