If you enjoy red, vibrant, toasted tomato sandwich tomatoes then the Big Beef Italian is for you. Great for both sandwiches and tossed salads the Big Beef is an amazing high yield harvesting plant. This AAS winner is a beefsteak like tomato but yielding twice as much fruit and no cracking on top.

Gray leaf spot, nematode, resists cracking, alternaria stem canker, fusarium wilt, tomato mosiac virus, verticillium wilt.
So excited for my big beefs from Green Gardens North Bay. I have grown these for 3 summers now and they are so delicious! I couldn’t keep up to the number it produced and ended up freezing a bunch! I used them about a month ago in a chilli and they were soooo good!!
