All-America Selections (AAS) Winner 1994
Big Beef Tomato sets a new standard in the world of gardening with its early maturity and unmatched disease tolerance. This hybrid marvel outshines its peers by producing at least DOUBLE the yield of extra-large, extra-meaty, and extraordinarily tasty fruits. With fruits boasting superior shape, color, and the nostalgic taste of old-time tomatoes, it's no surprise that Big Beef has clinched an All-America Selections (AAS) Award.
These robust, indeterminate plants require staking or caging. They flourish in full sun and demonstrate an impressive resilience against a host of common threats, including verticillium wilt, Fusarium wilt races 1 and 2, tobacco mosaic virus, root-knot nematodes, and Stemphylium (gray leaf spot). With such a comprehensive disease resistance package, Big Beef Tomato proudly stands as a testament to horticultural excellence, as recognized by its AAS Award.
For gardeners eager to start their Big Beef Tomato journey, the process begins indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. When planting time arrives, and the threat of frost has passed with night temperatures steadily above 55°F, it's time to transition your plants outdoors. Should an unexpected late frost loom on the horizon, shield your young plants with row covers. Planting each seedling about an inch deep and spacing them 2 to 2½ feet apart will ensure optimal growth and fruit production.
Embrace the Big Beef Tomato for its bountiful harvests and savor the rich, old-time flavor that has made it a favorite among gardeners. With its award-winning disease resistance and exceptional fruit quality, Big Beef is more than just a tomato: it's a gardening revolution waiting to happen in your backyard.

Best tasting Tomato ever 4 people found this helpfulSummer of 2022 drought rendered unproductive the other two types of tomatoes that I planted, but Big Beef grew the best in Middle Tennessee. Highly recommend.
-
very reliable 4 people found this helpfulHuge 1st few batches of tomatoes - some almost 2 lbs. Later ones 12 - 16 oz. Slowed down in the Sacramento valley heat but kept producing. Good flavor. Will be a regular in my garden.

Favorite tomatoe 5 people found this helpfulThe Big Beef is the best tomato ever in my books, the flavor is true to the tomatoes we grew up with. So many large tomatoes on a vine, this year they are out producing themselves, I had numerous clusters of 6 real large tomatoes on my plant, I stopped counting number of tomatoes on the vine at 30 with many smaller ones I didn't count. This in 2yr I've planted Big Beef, with same results & I'll continue next year with them.

Best large red tomato 7 people found this helpfulBig Beef tomato is our favorite large "beefsteak" type hybrid tomato. Strong growing with supports to about 6' in zone 9A, disease resistant, large beautiful fruit. After many years trying various varieties of tomatoes, my spouse told me to not bother growing other large tomatoes, we only need this productive, meaty, tasty tomato.
