Indeterminate Hybrid Slicing Tomato. Big Beef remaints unsurpassed as the top choice for fresh market beefsteak tomatoes. A mid-season tomato, it brings a nice combination of size, taste, and earliness. The fruits are large (avg. 10-12 oz), mostly blemish-free, globe-shaped, and classically red. Very full flavor - among the best! Broad disease resistance package. High resistance to alternaria stem canker, fusarium wilt races 1, 2, gray leaf spot, nematodes, tobacco mosaic virus, and verticillium wilt. AAS winner. Harden off and plant outside once night time temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees. Grows well in the ground or in a container. If you are planting in a container, tomatoes benefit from having at least a 5 gallon bucket sized container for each plant. They will also need some kind of plant cage or trellising to help keep them upright. 70 days to harvest.
