Expect a large production of yellow to orange-yellow, heart-shaped fruits of considerable size: 250-1500 grams! This variety was already widely cultivated by hobbyists in West Virginia around 1915. The fruits contain few seeds, are all flesh, and have a very pleasant taste full of fruit aromas.
Do you often grow your tomatoes in the same place, for example in a greenhouse? Then diseases can develop in the soil, which rootstocks are resistant to, and grafting is therefore recommended:
for grafting tomatoes, use this variety: 291110 Tomato 'Landon'. As an aid, we recommend these grafting clips: 847520 Grafting clip 1.5 mm.
The largest tomatoes in our assortment are called beefsteak tomatoes. This tomato owes its name to the larger amount of flesh (instead of juice). This applies to most varieties in this group, with a few exceptions such as the so-called stuffing tomatoes.
