This is one of my favorite tomatos - big, sandwich-sized slices, wonderful flavor. We have to wait until late August before we can start picking, but the wait for the perfect BLT is worth it. It is usually done producing by late September or early October.

Good reliable producer. Old fashion tomato taste. One of the better hybrid beefsteak varieties. Large vine, will require cage. Will bear good crop of 1 lb fruit. Always planted in our garden.
