Description
The Ponderosa Red Beefsteak Tomato produces meaty, bright red fruit with mild, sweet flavor. This low-acid ribbed slicer has very few seeds, so there’s more flesh to savor. Strong vines support heavy production, so stake well. Eat them any way you can think of.
- Old-fashioned tomato flavor
- High yields
- Low acidity
- Good fresh or cooked
