Beefsteak Tomato 'Beefmaster'

$6.00

Pre-order for local pick-up available as early as April 15.

‘Beefmaster’ is making a come back! I haven’t grown this variety since I was just starting Renata’s Garden, but I wanted to bring it back because I needed a heavyweight variety that differed from ‘Phoenix.’

It gained its original popularity because of its crack resistance and fruit that weighs up to 2 pounds each! You won’t regret growing this all-American classic tomato. Read more below.

Height : ~6’

Fruit Size: 12-24 oz.

A Note from the Grower

Let’s talk meat! Tomato meat, that is. Beefsteak tomatoes can have a bad rap for producing later in the season and struggling more with nutrient deficiencies or disease and pest issues as compared to your average slicer. My professors always used to say, genetics are king. So, start with genetics that are going to work with you, not against you. It is more important than ever, when selecting beefsteaks, to choose varieties with gusto.

I selected two beefsteaks known for their early production, high yield and disease resistance. Plus, to top it off, they have excellent flavor. Don’t take my word for it! Give one or both a try!
