Livingston Seed Co. Beefsteak Tomato Seeds

Indeterminate means the vines will continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire growing season until the first frost. Unlike determinate varieties that ripen all at once, these plants offer a steady, ongoing harvest.

Yes, because these are indeterminate plants that grow continuously, they require support. Using a sturdy tomato cage or a trellis system is essential to keep the vines off the ground and support the weight of the large, meaty fruit.

These are primarily prized for fresh eating. Their meaty texture and classic flavor profile make them ideal for slicing onto sandwiches, burgers, or salads where the tomato's structure can really shine.

Beefsteak varieties are generally mid-to-late season producers. You can typically expect to start harvesting your first ripe tomatoes about 75 to 85 days after transplanting your seedlings into the garden.

While possible in a large container, these plants are vigorous growers that prefer the space of a traditional garden bed. If you do use a pot, ensure it is at least 5 to 10 gallons in size and has excellent drainage to accommodate the root system.
