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.
