This beefsteak-type tomato can weigh up to 2 lbs. With a unique red and yellow flesh, the inside is a blend of red, pink, orange and yellow with a deliciously sweet and some- what tangy flavor that gets better as it ages on the vine. Lots of pulp and few seeds. A lower acidity than other varieties.
SOWING… Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before last frost date. Cover seed with 1/4 inch of soilless mix. Provide heat under seed starting tray to promote germination. Keep evenly moist.
THINNING…When plants are 4 to 6 inches tall, transplant into 4 inch containers. When the weather warms and soil temperature is at least 65F, transplant outdoors 18 to 24 inches apart in rows 2 feet apart. Remove lower leaves and bury the plant deep. The hairs on the stem will turn into roots and help support the plant as it grows.
GERMINATION…Germinates in 7 to 14 days depending on soil and temperature conditions.
REMARKS…Needs full sun and will require a trellis, stake or tomato cage. Harvest fruit by cutting from the vine rather than pulling.
