A beefsteak tomato that has stood the test of time. Big red-pink tomatoes grow on robust plants that make perfect slicers for sandwiches as well as diced for salads. Well suited for many climates especially hot and even does well in southern humid climates. Fairly disease resistant. A favorite at farmers markets and make a perfect plant for the home garden. Will need staking.
