Classic Beefsteak

Classic Beefsteak

(Solanum lycopericum)

Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds

Indeterminate

Packet Description:

“The classic beefsteak tomato! 1-2 lb. fruit and good old-fashioned flavor. Very well suited for the northeast U.S. but a good grower everywhere in the states.”

Our take:

We have grown beefsteak tomatoes before. I believe they were Bonnie brand starter plants. This is our first time starting them from seed. You cannot go wrong with a beefsteak, they are very popular for slicing big meaty slabs for BLTs.

Plant Spacing: 24”

Sun Exposure: Full

Frost Hardy: No

Ideal Temps: 75-95F (24-35C)
