Tomato - Beefmaster In warm winter/hot summer areas, tomatoes can be planted in early fall for winter harvest. Tomatoes should be planted outside after the last average frost date. The meaty tomatoes are big enough to overlap burgers and sanwiches. The Tomato Beefmaster, 'Lycopersicon lycopersicum', is one of the largest beefsteak types. Some may weigh up to 2 pounds. Beefmaster was bred for resistance to verticillium and fusarium wilt and nematodes. Tomatoes prefer well drained soil that is high in organic matter. Tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week. |
