One of the sweetest, meatiest, juciest tomatoes I have grown. Almost like eating fruit.

My family enjoys a good , sweet, juicy beefsteak and this tomato fit the bill. They were in the two pound plus range. They may not have been plentiful but how many tomatoes do you need when talking about two pounds each ? The color red, orange and yellow is a treat in itself.
