Tomato - Beefmaster
Some may weigh up to 2 pounds. Tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week. Tomatoes should be planted outside after the last average frost date. Beefmaster was bred for resistance to verticillium and fusarium wilt and nematodes. The meaty tomatoes are big enough to overlap burgers and sanwiches. Soak to depth of 6 to 10 inches when watering. Beefmasters are nearly seedless and they have the fine beefsteak flavor. They shine as a slicer and the good-flavored fruit is tolerant of cracking and peeling. Tomatoes prefer well drained soil that is high in organic matter. The Tomato Beefmaster, 'Lycopersicon lycopersicum', is one of the largest beefsteak types. In warm winter/hot summer areas, tomatoes can be planted in early fall for winter harvest. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. ... find out more
