Description
Tomato Beefsteak (Solanum lycopersicum) is the classic, large-fruited heirloom standard celebrated for its massive, meaty slices and rich, traditional tomato flavor. Producing heavy, ribbed, scarlet-red fruits weighing up to 1–2 pounds each, it features solid, juicy flesh with small seed cavities. Ideal for thick sandwich slices, fresh summer salads, grilling, and burgers, this vigorous, heat-loving indeterminate vine yields a continuous, high-volume harvest straight through to the first autumn frost.
